Transgenics are organisms or cells that have been genetically modified by artificially introducing foreign DNA sequences from another species into their genome. This process is called recombinant DNA technology.

Cloning is distinct from transgenics, as it does not involve the introduction of foreign genes but rather replicating the genetic material of an existing organism.
