GENOMIKON: An Educational Toolkit for the Rapid Genetic Construction.
GENOMIKON is a kit designed to bring synthetic biology into the high-school 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. To learn more, see "GENOMIKON AT A GLANCE", or feel free to explore the rest of the site.
