The "selective breeding" you mentioned that occurs in nature, gives the specific bred a natural advantage over others, and that specific genes tends to spread throughout the whole species.. eg breeds of dogs we get would not occur in the wild.. eg Great Danes or Pugs. While humans bred animal for their own amusement and needs.
I still awaits what the OP defines as GMO etc first.
At this stage, we know method of raising organism affect taste (organic, greenhouse etc) of the food more than GMO.

There are other methods of altering DNA, for example, with a virus.
I kind of figured that's what you were implying with that question.
