DIYbio,
An Institution for the Do-It-Yourself Biologist DIYbio.org was founded in 2008 with the mission of establishing a vibrant, productive and safe community of DIY biologists....
The group holds meetings in America and Britain and has about 800 people signed up for its newsletter.
DIYbio plans to perform experiments such as sending out its members in different cities to swab public objects. The DNA collected could be used to make a map showing the spread of micro-organisms.
