genetic manipulation
Altering hereditary material
Genetic manipulation is the deliberate alteration of an organism's DNA, typically using laboratory techniques to add, remove, or modify genes.
The term covers a range of practices from selective breeding to precise gene editing with tools like CRISPR.
Genetic manipulation has produced disease-resistant crops.
The phrase often carries connotations of tampering with nature, making it more common in critical contexts than the neutral *genetic engineering*.
