TEAM ALBERTA

Start BioBytes 2.0 The Kit The Software Achievements Conclusion

GENOMIKON

The 2010 Alberta iGEM team has created an educational toolkit that has the potential to revolutionize the high school biology classroom. The GENOMIKON kit applies the principles of our newly refined genomic assembly method, BioBytes 2.0 to allow students to both design and assemble a plasmid in one afternoon. It is accompanied by our comprehensive online learning resource, GENOMIKON.ca. Using the GENOMIKON kit and online lab manual, students will be able to learn the fundamentals of synthetic biology and apply them in unique, hands-on experiments.

This tour outlines some of our accomplishments. We introduce the foundational technology of the kit, the components of the kit, and the supporting software.

-When we began thinking about our kit we knew we wanted to make something more than a plain old science kit. We wanted something that could revolutionize the biology classroom. Something that would not only teach students about biology but inspire them, transforming them from mere students into Synthetic biologists!   With GENOMIKON, we have created something truly unique: an educational experience that allows students to design and actually assemble their own plasmid in an afternoon and transform bacteria in a day.  A tool that’s potential will certainly extend far beyond the classroom.
-This tour will give you an idea of what our project is about, why we did what we did and what we accomplished. There is more detailed information in other locations of the wiki so please explore the rest of our site as well if that’s what you are after!
