What is the difference between GMO and hybrids?

Scientists taking the genetic code from one organism and inserting it into another organism produce genetically modified organisms. Hybrids are the offspring that result from the breeding of 2 different races, breeds or varieties.

If a soybean plant has been genetically modified, that means that some foreign DNA has been spliced into the natural genetic sequence of the soybean plant.
