Transgenic organisms contain genes from other organisms that have been genetically engineered into their genome. This is different from clones, which are genetically identical copies of an organism, and transgenic organisms may or may not contain cells from other organisms. The genome sequencing of a transgenic organism is not necessarily relevant to its status as transgenic.
