DNA modification starts with identifying the gene(s) of interest. This is the first step as it determines which part of the DNA will be targeted for modification. Breeding different organisms is a traditional method not directly related to the molecular - level DNA modification process. Introducing a mutation is a later step after the gene of interest is identified.

by identifying the specific gene or genes of interest
