There were tinkerers at home in rooms or garages on personal computers in the early days with (what we consider today to be) underpowered equipment and tools, but the DIY spirit arguably pushed computing forward out of the mainframe age.
Are we at that point yet with cellular and/or molecular [synthetic] biology where curious individuals can tinker in their own homes?
