      Viruses are just a bit of DNA with a shell round them.

      We will add a little more DNA to the Virus DNA that tells it to make this flourescent jellyfish protein and when you shine a certain type of light on it (sort of like a laser light) it glows bright green like a lot of jellyfish do!
