no pressure but your genome is just sitting there unread -

just a reminder that whole genome sequencing exists, it costs $599, and most people who do it describe it as one of the weirder and more interesting things they've spent money on.

Bet you thought science could only be done in a sterile room and a lab coat. But there are so many fields of science that don’t require a lab at all.

Here’s a short introduction to protein modeling. It’s a type of research you can actually explore from your own computer 🧬💻

We’ve got a full article linked in our bio that explains how protein modeling works and how you can start doing this kind of research yourself.

Isn’t that wonderful?

Most lab kits give you one experiment. This one gives you the lab.

Built for independent researchers, educators, homeschool programs, and anyone serious about hands-on molecular biology.

Choose what goes into your kit from a wide range of options. Start with bacterial transformation, CRISPR editing, gel electrophoresis, and microbial culture, then add PCR, a centrifuge, human cell culture, and more as you’re ready to go further.

Each kit is built to order and sourced directly from manufacturers, with a 4–6 week lead time.
