Genetically modified microorganisms (GMOs) have been developed through the engineering of the genome by inserting desirable genes or deleting undesirable genes. Most applications have been with crops, where genes inserted into the plants provide resistance to a herbicide or produce an insecticide. However, GMO research is expected to continue to satisfy food security concerns and adapt to climate change.

How are transgenic organisms important and how could they be harmful?

Transgenic organisms are good because they are engineered to have the characteristics of another organism for its benefit. This increases resistance to harm and other factors in such organisms. As for harmful reasons, I cannot think of any.
