GENOMIKON: An Educational Toolkit for the Rapid Genetic Construction.
GENOMIKON is a kit designed to bring synthetic biology into the high-school classroom. By integrating the BioByte 2.0 assembly method and our innovative website GENOMIKON.ca, we are making synthetic biology accessible, reliable and easy to use. To learn more, click "start" to take the tour, or dive into the details with the other links.
GENOMIKON AT A GLANCE
Our Achievements
- Optimized and modeled the BioBytes 2.0 plasmid assembly technology.
- Assembled an educational plasmid assembly kit targeted for the high school classroom with basic lab equipment.

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.
