BioBits were developed by a group of synthetic biologists who wanted to help students learn biology by doing biology. BioBits take advantage of cutting-edge freeze-dried cell-free technology to make it possible to run biological experiments without living cells. Learn about DNA and how it makes proteins by making your own fluorescent proteins and more! BioBits are portable, user-friendly, and inexpensive, making it possible for to teach molecular biology outside of the lab.
