transgenic
This term is primarily used in scientific, academic, and regulatory contexts to describe organisms whose genome has been altered by the introduction of foreign DNA. It carries a precise technical connotation, distinguishing it from "mutagenic" or "selective breeding," as it specifically implies the crossing of species boundaries.
In public discourse, the word often appears in debates regarding biotechnology and ethics. While "genetically modified" (GM) is a broader umbrella term, "transgenic" is the more specific biological descriptor for the actual movement of genes from one species to another.
