Genetically modified food - A genetically modified food is a food product derived in whole or part from a genetically modified organism (GMO) such as a crop plant, animal or microbe such as yeast. Genetically modified foods have been available since the 1990s.

Genetically modified organism - A genetically modified organism, or GMO is an organism whose genetic material has been altered using techniques in genetics generally known as "recombinant DNA technology". Recombinant DNA technology is the ability to combine DNA molecules from different sources into the one molecule in a test tube.

Trade war over genetically modified food - The European Union and the United States have strong disagreements over the EU's regulation of genetically modified food. The US claims these regulations violate free trade agreements, the EU counter-position is that free trade is not truly free without informed consent.

Gene knockdown - A gene knockdown is either a genetically modified organism that carries one or more genes in its chromosomes that has been made less active or had its "expression" reduced or is the use of a reagent such as an antisense oligo to decrease expression of a specific gene, copying the effects of such a genetic modification. So far such organisms have been engineered chiefly for research purposes.
