Re: [sudo-discuss] Open Source Desktop Biotech lab

Dear All, Marc, Anthony and I have been talking about starting up an initiative to build a desktop open source biotech lab set up (an evolution of the current open source movement) so that we could open up the world of biotech to all hobbists not just those with access to labs. At the moment we're thinking of starting small and simple with a small desktop lab that would allow you to transform bacteria to express green florescent protein (i.e. they would glow) but hopefully expanding out to bigger and more important projects to open up the world of biotech science to amateurs (and hopefully the development of therapeutics to treat disease). We're currently considering having our first meet up to discuss the project this upcoming Friday evening. Is anyone else interested in joining?
