Feeding your dog a glow stick would not make him glow, and is actually a very bad idea. Fear not, because genetic engineering can make your dog glow, and might just cure genetic disease in the process. video https://cdn.kastatic.org/googleusercontent/_znMoQ2_lAXDnibOIwg6KQNFB2J8w3hxASFuMfwm-5t_ywnXiCRksUrMBAa_3LbsbvkflNCOHQsN1Am-gB2wc3U Genetic engineering By Matthew Walak.

Today, recombinant DNA technology enables precise gene manipulation, creating genetically modified organisms (GMOs) with enhanced traits. While offering benefits like robust crops and new medicines, it raises bioethical concerns, especially regarding human genome modification.

The bacteria replicate the gene and can produce proteins, such as insulin. Antibiotic resistance genes in plasmids help select bacteria containing the desired gene.
