There are good bacteria and bad bacteria, and at the Harlem DNA lab, there are also glow-in-the-dark bacteria. Apprentices joined biologist Melissa Lee who taught them how to take DNA from jellyfish and insert it into bacteria to create luminous microorganisms. They also toured the lab and learned about incubators, centrifuges, and DNA thermal cyclers, which help duplicate DNA.
