What We Did
We learned about genetically modifying organism. We did this by using translation .That is when you take a gene from one organism, in our case the gene pGlo from fluorescent jellyfish, and put it into the DNA of a different organism, we put it into e.Coli. In order to make the e.Coli colonies glow, we had to put it through various temperature shocks, and we had to feed it to re- fuel the bacteria. We used bacteria in this experiment because it reproduces quickly and they are single cell organisms.
