Domestication 

The growing of a plant or the raising of an animal and therefore, consciously or unconsciously causing it to change genetically from it's wild ancestor.

Domestication is a process that takes many years.

Alien Domestication

The process by which humans selectively breed, genetically modify, or behaviorally train extraterrestrial organisms for utility, companionship, or agricultural purposes. It's the extension of the ancient human-animal partnership to the stars. This could involve tailoring a fast-breeding, methane-processing Martian "moss" to produce breathable air, or taming a hexapedal, docile grazer to serve as a beast of burden on a low-gravity world. It's making the alien useful and familiar, blurring the line between foreign life and a resource.

Example: In the Frontiers Saga, settlers on a new planet selectively breeding the native "Grunts" for their nutritious milk and sturdy hides is Alien Domestication. On a microbial level, it could involve culturing extremophile bacteria from Europa to use as living filters in a water reclamation plant.
