A scientist seeks to synthesize a rare human protein in lab. To accomplish this, she utilizes  recombinant techniques to insert the DNA of a eukaryotic gene for the protein into bacterial  plasmids. These plasmids are transformed into bacteria for expression. She is disappointed to  discover that the gene product from the bacteria is not the correct protein. What corrective step  could she take in the procedure to fix this issue?
