I want to genetically engineer extremely intelligent mice...what tools should I use? Is this possible?

  You still have to figure out what "intelligence" is, and how to transfer, manipulate, or otherwise encode for it. I don't think we have the tools to actually transplant intelligence yet. We are in the early stages of understanding it at all. The field of "optogenetics" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optogenetics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optogenetics has been a powerful genetic way to help start along that path to understanding how brains work, to what extent a mouse is intelligent, and how to affect neural processes.
