Enticing green genie to work life-altering change (7,11)

I believe the answer is:

genetic engineering

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'enticing green genie to work life-altering change' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'enticing green genie to work' is the wordplay.
'to work' indicates anagramming the letters (letters worked into a new order).
'enticing'+'green'+'genie'='enticinggreengenie'
'enticinggreengenie' is an anagram of 'GENETIC ENGINEERING'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for genetic engineering that I've seen is " Modification of organisms".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
