Is it possible to create engineered bacterias at home? Or it can only be done in advanced institutes with big machines which average Joe can't afford?

- blaufast 6y agoYes it is very possible. It is very expensive to verify that you did it correctly and that it works as intended. Genetics are not like code so unless you are copying previous work expect a very long road
- patmorgan23 6y agoIt's most definitely possible. Check out the thought emporium YouTube channel. Also the 'unnatural evolution' series on Netflix.
- Mumps 6y agoyou can do CRISPR/cas-9 in your kitchen, if you really choose (you can google diy kits for it. I endorse none, have no affiliation with any). verification _can_ be tricky, but you can also send off your sample for sequencing fairly cheaply and quickly these days. so, go for it!
