As far as my knowledge of biology goes, I had been studying a lot of biology my first two years of college. I understand how helicase unzips DNA, Polymerase replicates it, how RNA Polymerase transcribes DNA, and how Ribosomes translate DNA to Protein. I took two semesters of Molecular Cell Biology. I'm no expert by any stretch, but I do have a basic understanding of molecular biology. What can I do as far as DIYBio is concerned, since Synbio is a bit pricey? Would you guys mind sharing the different things youve made at your benches?
Thanks,
Hady

Hi,
It would be good for us to know you state-of knowledge...
Are you familiar to basic operation such as restriction, ligation, transformation? Know what plasmids are? Ever done a transformation/PCR?
You studied biology?
Synbio essentially is something different, because you'll get synthesized most of / all you need and just transform it. It's all about $$$, nowadays, because synthesis of a medium-sized plasmid will likely cost you about 3,000$.
Best,

I have been trying to get research positions in the bioengineering department at my university to no avail, but I don't want to wait on a professor to get started with this incredible field. I'd really appreciate it if you guys and gals could point me in the right direction. If you would help me find out about equipment, techniques, good reading material, example experiments; any useful information at all, that would be fantastic. Hopefully, I will be able to contribute more and more to this forum and the field at large over time. Thanks for having me aboard!Hady
