GENOMIKON: An Educational Toolkit for Rapid Genetic Construction
Building DNA is too hard. It has to be cheaper, faster, and easier, so that everyone can do it. So... we've created an inexpensive, self-contained educational kit called GENOMIKON. The kit is targeted for the high school and the DIY community and comes with online lab manual, notebook, and experiment software. It can also be used by professionals as well.
GENOMIKON AT A GLANCE
Achievements
- BioBytes 2.0 plasmid assembly technology.
- Plasmid assembly kit for the high school classroom.
- Online educational lab manual software.
- Demonstrated that high school students can successfully assemble plasmids.
THE SOFTWARE
Learn how to use the kit then, create and share your own designs!
BioBytes 2.0
Continually developing the BioByte assembly technology created by the Alberta 2009 team, we were able to make this rapid plasmid assembly method amenable to a high school teaching kit.
The kit
Everything you need to put together a plasmid in an afternoon.
