DIYbio (organization)
DIYbio is an informal umbrella organization for individuals and local groups active in do-it-yourself biology, encompassing both a website and an email list.〔 It serves as a network of individuals from around the globe that aims to help make biology a worthwhile pursuit for citizen scientists, biohackers, amateur biologists, and do-it-yourself biological engineers who value openness and safety. It was founded by Jason Bobe and Mackenzie Cowell in 2008.〔(【引用サイトリンク】date=31 Dec 2008 )〕
The website provides resources for those in the do-it-yourself biology community. It maintains a directory of local groups encompassing both meetup groups and organizations maintaining community laboratory space, and a weekly blog listing events hosted by these organizations. The website also hosts safety information including ethics codes developed by the community and an "ask a biosafety professional" feature, as well as DIY instructions for making several types of laboratory equipment.
== Community ==
The blending of biology expertise gained from experimentation, and software development, quality control, awareness of open source principles, and security expertise transferred from the professional work of many DIYbio enthusiasts, has led to a unique subculture among this community, with some members referring to themselves as biopunks in reference to the cypherpunks of the turn of the century. The work 'A Biopunk Manifesto'〔(A Biopunk Manifesto )〕 delivered by Patterson at the UCLA conference lays down the principles of the biopunk movement, in an homage to the prior work of cypherpunk Eric Hughes. Patrik Ronnqvist, a Swedish biopunk who owns the domain (biopunk.org ), characterizes the difference between DIYbio and biopunk as being one of goals; he claims DIYbio hobbyists are more interested in building their own equipment, possibly due to a Maker influence, whereas the biopunks are more focused on results, and are thus open to outside contracting of gene sequencing and other procedures necessary for synthetic biology experiments.〔(On the Difference between Biopunk and DIYbio )〕 That a significant proportion of the DIYbio mailing list membership are openly in support of outsourcing DNA synthesis and sequencing makes it difficult to determine whether this definition truly applies; in general, the two hobbies are impossible to distinguish and share a common community. Both are forms of citizen science. As DIYbio has grown, tools and materials have become available including instructions on how to build lab equipment〔(Build My Lab Instructables )〕 and DIYbio stores like (The ODIN ) that provide inexpensive materials.
Some participants call themselves ‘biohackers’, not hackers in the sense of infiltrating protected places and stealing information, but hackers in the original sense of taking things apart and putting them back together in a new, better way. These biohackers often pursue these interests outside of their jobs, companies or institutional labs.
