Extract DNA from the cells of people who can make the digestion enzyme. Cut the DNA with a restriction enzyme, then use gel electrophoresis and a DNA probe to locate the gene. Use the polymerase chain reaction to copy the gene. Choose a plasmid that has an antibiotic resistance genetic marker, and cut the plasmid with the same restriction enzyme used to cut out the human gene. Insert the copies of the human gene into the plasmids. Allow bacterial cells to take in the plasmids. Select for transformed bacterial by growing them in a culture containing the antibiotic. These bacteria will make the digestion enzyme
