This month we will be inserting the Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) gene into Saccharomyces cerevisiae (brewing yeast) to familiarize ourselves with genetic engineering techniques as a precursor to our cellulose digestion project. This will be our first step to ending famine as we know it (hopefully)!
All materials will be provided, so just come ready to learn and try something new!
No prior knowledge is needed, and we encourage you to attend if you feel uncertain.
Whoa! The meetup to beat
I hope you market it under the name Soylent.
