[DIYbio] Re: Genetic engineering at home

And just what do you think this would accomplish?  Give you fur?  Supersonic hearing?  Claws?  A dog's nose?  
Genes aren't Legos, they're recipes for proteins.  And adding some protein to your mix all willy-nilly like that can have disastrous consequences.

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
