In this video we take a deep dive into the world of genetic engineering. What is it, what's it's history, how does it work, and how you can do it too! We explore a variety of custom printer pieces of DNA, and see all the amazing things they do when you put them into a living organism. We've got things that glow, smell, and even things that behave like electrical circuits and transistors.
