[DIYbio] Re: Genetic engineering at home

As the others explained, getting an animal's gene into your body is not a possibility today. I'm not even sure if making this accessible would be a good idea...

If you are interested in genetic engineering, then perhaps you could transfer a gene from one bacteria species to the other. This is much easier to accomplish, and could lead to very interesting results while staying mostly harmless.

I want to incorporate certain genes from a certain animal into myself. I was thinking of using a retrovirus with the gene. Would this work? Where would I be able to find the resources I need? Is there a easier/more possible way of accomplishing this? Thanks in advance
