Oh, you're just looking into synthbio way of doing things.
That is admittedly Big Science, and out of budget even
for most advanced amateur, or small-pocket professional.

Note true. Basic genetic engineering experiments like inserting green fluorescent protein are fairly easy for a careful amateur, and can be done using cheap educational kits. And every year, hundreds of undergraduates and high schoolers are doing very creative synthetic biology projects as part of the  IGEM competition.

Where it gets more expensive is when you start synthesizing your own genes from scratch. But there's an awful lot you can do with preexisting genetic parts.
