genetically manipulated
Artificially modified heredity
Genetically manipulated describes organisms whose genetic material has been deliberately altered through human intervention, typically using biotechnology techniques.
The term often carries skeptical or critical connotations, suggesting interference with natural processes: genetically manipulated crops, genetically manipulated salmon.
More neutral alternatives include "genetically modified" or "genetically engineered."
