DIY生物学（Do It Yourself Biology）是一个由科学家、业余爱好者、艺术家和修补匠组成的日益增长的运动，他们在专业环境之外练习生物学。在本文中，我们介绍了我们使用几种开源DIYbio工具的工作，包括OpenPCR和Pearl Blue Transilluminator，它们可用于测试DNA样本的特定序列。我们将这些平台定义为收集异质材料和问题并实现新形式的知识转移的平台。在专业和DIY环境中使用这些混合系统，我们举办了一个研讨会，让非生物学家测试食品的基因改造。我们的研究结果表明，在生物学，技术和DIY的交叉新的设计方向：i）DIY生物平台作为丰富的工具，混合知识生产;和ii）开源生物学作为一个网站，公众参与科学。
DIYbio (Do It Yourself Biology) is a growing movement of scientists, hobbyists, artists, and tinkerers who practice biology outside of professional settings. In this paper, we present our work with several open source DIYbio tools, including OpenPCR and Pearl Blue Transilluminator, which can be used to test DNA samples for specific sequences. We frame these platforms as things that gather heterogeneous materials and concerns, and enable new forms of knowledge transfer. Working with these hybrid systems in professional and DIY settings, we conducted a workshop where non-biologists tested food products for genetic modifications. Our findings suggest new design directions at the intersection of biology, technology, and DIY: i) DIYbio platforms as rich tools for hybrid knowledge production; and ii) open source biology as a site for public engagement with science.
