A engenharia genética (também chamada de modificação genética) significa a manipulação desse programa mestre. Os genes, na sua maioria provenientes de outras espécies, muitas vezes totalmente não relacionadas, são inseridos no programa mestre genético. Genes de peixes, escorpiões, bactérias e vÃrus, por exemplo, foram inseridos em plantas alimentÃcias em projetos de engenharia genética. A engenharia genética é uma das tecnologias mais importantes atualmente disponÃveis para os cientistas. A tecnologia foi crucial para o sequenciamento do genoma humano e aumentou consideravelmente o potencial para o desenvolvimento de novos medicamentos. Um dos primeiros avanços da engenharia genética envolveu a hormona insulina. A diabetes, uma condição médica que afeta milhões de pessoas, impede o corpo de produzir insulina suficiente para que as células absorvam adequadamente o açúcar. Os diabéticos costumavam ser tratados com insulina suplementar isolada de porcos ou vacas. Embora essa insulina seja muito semelhante à insulina humana, ela não é idêntica. A insulina bovina é antigénica em humanos. Os anticorpos produzidos contra ela destruiriam gradualmente a sua eficácia.
