GENOMIKON: An Educational Toolkit for Rapid Genetic Construction
Building DNA is too hard. We have to be able to make DNA construction easier and cheaper. In response to this demand, Alberta iGEM has created GENOMIKON: an inexpensive, self-contained kit, targeted for the high school and DIY communities but with clear potential for professional use. The kit is accompanied with a comprehensive online learning resource.

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.
