I feel like /pol/ needs a reminder that bioluminescent GMOs have been around for decades.

It's really easy to genetically modify things to glow. The genetic code is a standalone protein that you can attach or insert to whatever you want in the genetic sequence.

there's no way that this is the first genetically modified spider in the world. people have been fucking around with spiders forever in an attempt to make them spin more silk

They should spend more effort putting spider silk genes into silkworms instead. Silkworms are practical to farm, spiders will never be because they are aggressive, independent cannibals.

It's also a handy way to see if another gene of interest has taken without sequencing the critter again. There's a lot we could do with simple insertions but retards always pearl clutch about it.

They were making glow in the dark tobacco plants 40 years ago. This is not novel science.
