This modification is achieved through various techniques, most commonly by introducing new DNA sequences (transgenes) that confer desired traits (e.g., insect resistance, herbicide tolerance). Modification can also involve altering or removing existing DNA sequences using gene editing tools. Therefore, the introduction of new DNA and the removal of existing DNA are direct causes of modified genetic material in GM crops. Introduction of RNA (statement 3) is not the primary method for creating stable genetic modification in the genome, although RNA interference techniques derived from GM methods can use RNA to regulate gene expression. Introduction of new traits (statement 4) is the intended outcome or result of the genetic modification, not the cause of the modification itself.
