Re: [DIYbio] Gene splicing equipment?

What do you mean for splicing?


The only gene splicing I know (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_splicing) is made in vivo by cell's enzymes, lots of them! I am not aware of any kit for in vitro splicing. It is an highly regulated event and it depends on the organism you want to use.
You can of course design genes that can undergo to different splicing events. But then what is your goal? Do you want to study some gene splicing?

Maybe you want to clone or “cut and paste” some gene, but in that case it is not called splicing.

What exactly do you want to do? Using which organism?

Best,

Hi, I am a high school student who just got into biohacking and all that. I was wandering what equipment I would need for gene splicing and where I could find it. Thanks
