  The Science of Genetic Engineering

   

  

   

  Wikipedia describes Genetic Engineering as the process of inserting new genetic information into existing cells in order to modify a specific organism for the purpose of changing its characteristics.

   

  Let's give an example of genetic engineering so everyone understands its context.  There was a movie called Deep Blue Sea, where a group of researchers used genetic engineering to give sharks larger brains. They wanted to extract lots of protein from these larger shark brains to treat Alzheimer's disease.  As a side effect, these sharks with the larger brain got smarter and more deadlier! Of course, these are movie concepts which are not technically possible, but the idea is interesting!

   

  If you were a genetic engineer, how would you use your knowledge to bring positive change in this world?  Please write a Coolinventor wiki about this with your elaborate explanation and details. A lot of you may not have any background in science and genetics, but this is what Coolinventor is about! You play with your imagination and share with us!

   

  We are not putting any price tag on this project. Instead, we will accept everyone's work and rank them. You can make anywhere between $1 to $10 for this project depending on the quality of your content. To make the most dollar value for your project, please follow these additional guidelines!

   

  Additional Guidelines: 

   

  - Please submit your article in wiki format. Here is a video that shows how you can open a wiki account and write/submit your article there. Please do not submit Microsoft Word documents, etc. Submit your article in our wiki in English.  Please try to give us flawless grammar. 

   

  - Start your wiki with a good introduction of yourself, such as  your name,  who you are, what you do and your background.  This creates credibility and generates interest among the readers to read further. 

   

  -  Try to write your article like your own diary or your story (in first person narrative format). Give examples everywhere.

   

  - Add your Coolinventor.com profile link at the end of the wiki, so
  readers know you

  
  - No plagiarized or copyrighted work please! If we find any plagiarism in
  your wiki content writing, then your payment will be cancelled and
  your work will not be promoted.

  
  - We need at least 85% plagiarism free content to give you full payment
  amount. Otherwise, payment may be reduced or cancelled. We use
  our own tool to check for plagiarism in articles. So, please try to keep
  your write up original!

  
  - There is no word limit. Please keep it short and to the point without
  making the readers bored. Try to keep it interesting with good sense
  of humor in your stories!

  
  - Try to add lots and lots of pictures for visuals and demonstrations

  
  - For pictures, that you are getting from online, please try to reference
  them (where you took them from) to avoid copyright issues

  
  - Here is a sample wiki from one of our contributors and you can follow
  this format:
  https://coolinventor.com/wiki/index.php?title=Cool_tricks_to_program_a_
  ROBOT_NAO

   

  
  - If you are interested to work on this project, please let us know by Jan
  15th. 

   

  - You will have a week to finish this project after accepting and we will pay between $1 to $10 to the contributor. For example, a contributor who writes exceptional quality work with all the proper guidelines will get $10 and someone whose quality is not as good may get $3.  So the final price depends on your work quality. 

   

  -Payment will be given ONLY to contributors who submit their wiki articles by the deadline

   

  - Dollar value may be deducted if any of the above rules are missing
