GENOMIKON
The Idea
GENOMIKON evolved from a team objective to bring synthetic biology to high school students. This proved to be a tall task as a high school environment has many limitations that don't apply to university research labs.
To work GENOMIKON must be:
- Inexpensive
- Require very little expensive equipment (autoclaves, centrifuges, -70C freezers)
- Fast
- Efficicent
- Easily shipped
The limitations imposed by the high school requirements forced our team to design a new standard for the assembly and production of DNA parts, BioBytes 2.0
