We set out to create a kit that would revolutionize the biology classroom. We sought to inspire individuals to be creative and imagine the unlimited possibilities of synthetic biology. With the GENOMIKON kit, 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. Students will learn fundamentals of biotechnology, molecular and synthetic biology by actually doing it.
This tour briefly describes some of what we accomplished. We introduce the technology that allows our kit to function, the kit itself, and the kits supporting software. GENOMIKON facilitates learning synthetic biology by those who wish to know and practicing synthetic biology by those who do.
