[DIYbio] Re: I'm totally new please help

May I add:

With bacteria, it's  not at all very difficult to insert a new gene.

Plasmids are mobile elements, which the bacteria can easily take up.

Of course, plasmid stability is another issue, but it's good to know as a beginner. And for gene coloning. Plasmids are amazing! ;)

Hope this isn't annoying but i literally had no idea this kind of DIY biotech was possible. I have wanted to do this kind of thing for years. What i'd really like is any clear guides to getting started, particularly in actually growing microbes and implanting new DNA. (some light googling was surprisingly lacking of such resources) One issue is that have a severe physical disability, so i'm going to need lots of help but i've got ideas!

Sidenote: any members from vancouver island?

To sum everything up, links and lots of them. For guides, suppliers, other forums, anything and everything. Also please contact me directly if you like i'm extremely excited to get involved.

Thanks, Q
