[[ImageFile:GenetorSymbol.jpg|thumb|right|220px|Symbol of the Genetor Order]][[File:AdMecRanks.jpg|thumb|left|The Tech Priest hierarchy{{Fn|13}}]] '''Genetors''' are one of the Holy Orders{{Fn|15}} that make up the Ruling Priesthood ruling [[tech priest|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}}
