A genetically engineered (GE) animal is one which has had a deliberate modification made to its genome. Genetic engineering allows scientists to precisely transfer beneficial genes from one species to another. GE animals embody an innovative technology that is transforming public health through biomedical, environmental, and food applications.

BIO Guidance for Genetically Engineered Animal Stewardship
The mission of BIO's Animal Policy Committee Stewardship Initiative is to institute and promote guidelines for the development and use of GE animals, which promote good animal welfare, enhance industry credibility, and comply with current regulatory requirements. This Guidance provides information for the development and implementation of stewardship programs for product developers that plan to engage in research, development and commercialization of GE animals. For further information contact Dr. Barb Glenn, BIO, bglenn@bio.org.
