The Genegineer can change a single molecule in a specific gene.  This can affect a single cell, as in the case of altering a baby at conception, or the entire body of a normal adult organism.  The difficulty of the effect rises substantially with the quantity of cells needing change.  The desired effect can range from correcting a single gene error in a fetus (difficulty 6) to causing cancer (difficulty 8) to creating a nearly instant illness (difficulty 10).
