GENOMIKON: An Educational Toolkit for the Rapid Genetic Construction.
GENOMIKON is a high school kit designed to bring synthetic biology into the classroom. By integrating the BioByte 2.0 Assembly Method and our innovative website GENOMIKON.ca, we are making Synthetic Biology accessible, reliable and easy to use.
