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 a , but it can be used by professionals as well. The kit is accompanied with a comprehensive online learning resource.
