In mice embryos.
I feel like that's a pretty big detail left off the title.

For the sake of a clickbating.
Transphobes HATE this single DNA tweak!
Hmmm OK, can we work on the human penis!??? Make it girthy and longer. It must also squirt half a cup and no less. That will reduce the number of trucks on the road.
Not sure. I think mice with girthy human penises would look weird
People would have a big incentive to catch them.
I think it would be much more useful to just make guys happy with the one they have and to be supportive of others rather than competitive.
so wait, people should be happy with the penis they have, but if they want a vagina they should get one? why shouldn't we just strive to give everyone a body they're happy with regardless of circumstances?
There are people who want a smaller penis too.
Sure, why not? However the culture of machism would likely remain.
You jest, but I guarantee, the world would be better if all dudes could have bigger dicks.
No, I mean I would like it to be bigger. No reason, just desire for that please. Yes, I'll wait.
Meh. I've wanted to be bigger. But when I went to the Marines, one thing I learned...it could always be worse....and it could always be better. Just be happy with what you got.
Thanks man!
Great news for trans mice
"Geneticist hate her, but this one cool trick ... !"
