The open biohacking kit project contains information on important
protocols in genetic engineering, stem cell research, microbiology and
other fields of related interest. Additionally, the archive file --
ready for immediate distribution and diffusion -- contains numerous
articles and designs for cheap DIY hardware such as incubators,
centrifuges, oligonucleotide machines, microarray chip schematics, and
so on. An integral part of the entire package is a cached copy of the
BioBrick Foundation and synbio websites, such as OpenWetWare and the
Parts Registry -- some may know about these groups from the
International Genetically Engineered Machine competitions. Short
introductory files are also being included regarding methods of
artificial gene synthesis, using online bioinformatics databases,
transfections, running ecoli farms, synthetic biology (synbio), ES cell
harvesting procedures, quick "where to buy" guides, and one-page
documents introducing newbies into the arts.
The project is in the spirit of 'open' in the sense of open source, as
such I am welcoming any permutations and combinations of this
information, any revision of the zip file, any contributions
whatsoever. Please note that this is an **amateur** work made for other
**amateurs** (and to some extent professionals) and therefore the
contents of the zip file remain mostly as a creative work and have not
yet matured into a final product; admittedly, any project at this stage
is going to be immature and will only grow to the extent that people
will help it on its journey.
