Online Companion Software

Complimentary to the GENOMIKON kit is an online lab manual and interactive plasmid design tool, found at [http://www.genomikon.ca GENOMIKON.ca.] This website contains pre-made experiments, encyclopedia articles explaining various topics in biology, and an integrated glossary.

Students can also use the interactive plasmid design tool to create their own experiments. When a student designs their own plasmid, a protocol is automatically generated for the laboratory. Furthermore, experiments can be published so that other students can try them.

GENOMIKON.ca is an excellent companion to the kit. Not only is it a great educational tool, it also empowers students to go beyond the initial pre-designed experiments and apply their knowledge to create their own plasmid designs.
