Take the open-source revolution to the space of biology.

First, software became open with the internet and version control- allowing almost anyone learn and develop for themselves. Next, manufacturing became open with at-home 3D printers, CNC, and with online part ordering. Biology has started to become open-source but we would like to push that along and make at home bio research more accessible and affordable. I want a 16 year old to be able to spend a summer making their parents lawn glow in the dark.

Rules:

This community is not for what biohacking is understood by some to mean. It is not a general transhumanism or health community, although some things are relevant. Some examples of irrelevant things are: vitamins/supplements to promote human health, injecting an RFID chip into your wrist, tattoos that don’t involve biology, or diets/exercise routines. Some examples of relevant things are: growing bacteria/cells, selective breeding, DIY CRISPR, DIY cloning, and I’m sure many other things.
Do not encourage people to test things on themselves or other humans.
Animal abuse is not allowed.
Nothing NSFW is allowed unless clearly marked, and it should relevant to the community.w
No discussion of creating infectious viruses or harmful bacteria, targeting any living thing- even if you just want to wipe out mosquitos it could create legal problems for you.
