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 - everything you need to build, test and operate genetic circuits and metabolic pathways.  It comes with an online lab manual, notebook, and experiment software. It can be used by professionals as well.

Synthetic biology is a new and expanding field that has potential applications in every aspect of society. Today, synthetic biology is underused because it is expensive and slow.  The University of Alberta is developing a method of plasmid assembly that is modular, rapid, and inexpensive. We are in the process of designing an educational kit, Genomikon, which will enable anyone to construct a plasmid without special equipment. We will also provide a comprehensive lab manual to accomodate those new to the field.

==Achievements==
 +
# Optimized BioBytes 2.0 assembly method.
 +
# Created an educational, self-containing tool kit for the high school classroom.
 +
# Developed online, educational software tools.
 +
# Demonstrated that high school students can successfully assemble plasmids using our kit.
-
To demonstrate the accessibility of our Genomikon toolkit, we will implement it in a high school laboratory setting. Genetic parts will be adapted into a system called BioBytes. This system will allow students to rationally create functional plasmids. The kit’s flexiblity will accomodate both predesigned experiments and new creative expressions. We believe that our kit could revolutionize science education. Our project not only seeks to optimize current procedures of synthetic biology but will also expose a new generation of students to this exciting field.

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 - everything you need to build, test and operate genetic circuits and metabolic pathways. It comes with an online lab manual, notebook, and experiment software. It can be used by professionals as well.
