The DAMP Lab<\/a> is a start-up biofactory within the Boston University Biodesign Center. The lab provides 30 synthetic biology solutions (such as DNA assembly, transformation, sequencing, and plasmid purification) to the scientific community for a service fee using only less than $10,000 in open source software and hardware. Any scientist can specify an experimental plan remotely by accessing DAMP Labs\u2019 web interface, and its automated system can design, build and test the plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n By integrating a range of open source tools, DAMP Labs was able to quickly develop a complex system that efficiently and elegantly automates biological circuit testing. Some of these key open source tools include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can learn more about the DAMP Labs technology stack on the Synbiobeta Blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n DAMP Labs talks about open source technology and the capabilities it gives in the video.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHow did they do it?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
