The Book of Enoch is quoted directly by Jude.
Jude 1:14-16
14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,
15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.
16 These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage.
The brother of James evidently viewed it as canon, and so did Christians until the Roman Catholic Church tossed it out.

I believe 1 Enoch is Biblical based on my studies. it really doesn't change anything about the Bible, but it certainly fleshes out some of the story.
Genesis 6 states Noah was perfect in his generations, and Genesis 5 already laid out his lineage.
Genesis 5 also has this to say about Enoch-
Genesis 5:21-24
21 And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah:
22 And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:
23 And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years:
24 And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.
Enoch never died.
Hebrews 11:5
By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
This testimony that Enoch pleased God is not found in Genesis directly (it could be implied in Genesis 5), but it is mentioned in 1 Enoch. I believe 2 Enoch and 3 Enoch are not scripture, but I do believe 1 Enoch is, as it's quoted in multiple books of the Bible, such as Hebrews and directly in Jude 1.
But what 1 Enoch says makes sense and really fleshes out Genesis 6. Fallen angels, who are fallen because they violated God's law and had sex with the daughters of men, creating angel/human hybrids known as the Nephilim (the giants). Satan wanted to prevent the birth of the Messiah to prevent his own destruction. His plan was to corrupt mankind's DNA before Jesus could be born. Genetic modification of plants and animals was taught to mankind by the angels, and all hell broke loose on Earth when man tried playing God.
God destroyed the world with the Great Flood because all of mankind's DNA (with the exception of Noah, his wife, his children and their wives) was corrupted, and He needed to start over with Noah's family.
This also makes better sense of the violence in the Old Testament, where God ordered the Israelites to kill the inhabitants of the land of Canaan. If these were tribes of Nephilim that arose after the Flood, as evidenced by 6 fingers and abnormal size, it stands as to why God would order them to be wiped out.
Matthew 24:37
But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Genetic modification has returned in the last days, has it not?
