Hi, first of all thank you all for your help and openness. A little bit about myself, im an automation engineer with experience mostly on industrial automation and have always enjoyed to read science journals and marvel at the advancements being made. Anyways, i think it is time to step out from behind the journals and finally make some contribution.

The problem is i know very little about how genes work, organic chemistry and biology in general. If i wanted to, say make luminescent bacteria, what would be the theoretical starting points (what books to read, what concepts and ideas do i need to grasp) and what would be the basic lab equipment that i would need to go about putting theory into practice and wrapping my head around this?


Thanks,

JD
