How to Get Free Stuff From The ODIN

At The ODIN we are interested in not only selling people tools so that they can do genetic engineering and synthetic biology but growing genetic engineering literacy.

You can help this happen by sharing links, pictures of yourself or your class doing experiments or biohacking and news articles that promote biohacking in a positive light. These news articles should directly mention the term biohacking. You can also make posts sharing kits and protocols from our website.

For every link you share we will give you $2 in credit at The ODIN.

What is Whole Genome Sequencing — and What Can It Tell You About Yourself?

Dariia Dantseva
Whole genome sequencing (WGS) reads your entire genome — approximately 3 billion base pairs of DNA — rather than a pre-selected set of genetic markers. Now available for $599, WGS provides raw genetic data in industry-standard formats within 2–3 weeks. Discover how it works, what 30x coverage means, and how individuals, breeders, clinicians, researchers, and agricultural producers can use comprehensive genomic data.
