BioBrick

Biobrick is a type of building block that scientists use to build living things. Scientists take strands of DNA and put them together like Lego pieces to make something similar to a model. Each piece of DNA represents a different part of the organism that they are creating, like a part of the body or a gene. It's like putting together a puzzle. When it's all put together correctly, scientists can make a living thing that can do certain things.
