'''Genetors''' are one of the Holy Orders{{Fn|15}} that make up the Ruling Priesthood of the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]], specializing in genetics.{{Fn|3}} Some sources{{Fn|3}} state that the term 'Genetor' is synonymous with the '''Magos Biologis''' (sometimes '''Divisionis Biologis'''{{Fn|11}} or '''Divisio Biologis'''{{Fn|12}}), while some place 'Magos Biologis' as a title within the wider Genetor Order{{Fn|15}}, or within the [[Magos|Magi]] Order.{{Fn|5a}} They are very common among the Mechanicus and often accompany [[Imperial]] forces involved in the exploration of new worlds.{{Fn|1}} They are dedicated to the study of biology and organic anatomy and are heavily represented among the Mechanicus, possibly due to the [[Mechanicum]]’s experiences with [[mutant]]s on [[Mars]] during the [[Age of Strife]].{{Fn|5a}}

==Overview==

The Order commonly studies biological systems; those of the [[xenos]] in order to defeat them, those of the [[human]] in order to improve them. It is one of the few institutions in the [[Imperium]], alongside the [[Inquisition]]'s [[Ordo Xenos]], permitted to study xenos and regularly examine alien species. They have established covert research facilities such as the [[Anphelion Project|Anphelion Base]] in conjunction with the Ordo Xenos to study the [[Tyranid]] race, taking any opportunity to capture and study the creatures in order to devise a way to counter their organic weaponry and super-adaptability.{{Fn|1}} Members frequently accompany exploration fleets, sometimes even forming their own Genetor [[explorator]] teams,{{Fn|19}} to test the populations of rediscovered worlds for mutation outside of the prescribed norms.{{Fn|5a}}

==Creations and Armoury==

The Magos Biologis have been involved in the creation of many of the Imperium's genetically modified entities used by different branches. It was an Adaptus Mechanicus geno-lab that was used to develop the [[Cursed Founding]] on [[Incunabla]], possibly in conjunction with the [[Thorian]] faction of the [[Inquisition]].{{Fn|20}} Some examples of the Order's creations are:
