Gene detection experiment
At a guesstimated total cost of £200.
This would give us the immediate means to do gene detection (by designing primers that mark particular genes.) E.g.:
- Detection of genetic modifications (identify GM food)
- Detection of species ("lamb curry test": are you getting what you bought?)
- Detection of variants of species (e.g. detect known traits based on published gene sequences)
- We can also send the results to a sequencing lab to get raw data back.
Pledges:
- martind £20

Details
For PCR:
- Primers (£20)
- PCR Reagents (£40)
