Re: [DIYbio] Abridged summary of diybio@googlegroups.com - 8 updates in 2 topics

[joe wall]

Thanks for the advice, I'm from the UK about 40 miles away from London, so there isn't a local open lab in the area (not that I know of) although I have heard of a hack-space in London that I want to check out. I was planning on working with bacteria so giving bacteria bioluminescent properties is cool.

Nothing extra. If you add some extension tubes (ordinary pipe or cardboard
will do, since they are simply tubes), you can get more magnification, and
fill the sensor with the center of the field. ...more

You're getting some vignetting in the corners.
A little bit of extension would give you more magnification and get rid of
the dark corners, at the expense of field-of-view.
Try a time-lapse of some ...more

Where are you located? If you are somewhere near an open lab, you can skip
buying equipment and get hands on there.
 
If you want to work with bacteria, everything becomes a lot easier. To ...more

I'd recommend starting with the Carolina glowing bacteria kit, I was about

DIYbio

Hi Joe,
Unfortunately, it's not legal to do that without a licensed lab, and the
fine people of London Hackerspace don't yet have a license as far as I
know.. perhaps one of them will chime in.

As you're a European, you may also wish to join the diybio.eu mailing
list- I tried to dig up the join-address, because the website is down
right now, but couldn't find it. Perhaps my compatriots on that list
recall which address to send an email to to join?

There's also a London Biohackers mailing list which I'm not a member of,
so I cannot join. Perhaps they're on the diybio.eu list and will pitch
in, too. :)

 Btw, if you want to enhance your theoretical knowledge, I composed a beginners guide to genetic engineering.  

http://diyspartanbiotech.wordpress.com/2014/03/11/genetic-engineering-and-synbio-for-newbies/ 

if you open the word document it will be much better readable than the html version. I gotta convert it to pdf soon :) 

Would love to hear your feedback! ;) 

[joe wall]

Thanks a bunch

Thanks for the document, it was good and the example was and will be handy to have :)

Nice ;) I gotta do my own (IP free) drawings sometimes and add them
