Bioinformatics is the use of information technology to store, analyze, sort, label, and share the many DNA sequences generated by genome sequencing projects.

Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) - Genetically changing organisms to give them more highly desired characteristics.

Transgenic organism are organism that has had a gene artificially inserted or removed.

Green Revolution is term referring to the tremendous advances in food production which began in the 1970s.
