You're not likely to believe this one so I will provide plenty from the source link along with the advisory this site is one of many. (The Odin: DIY Bacterial Gene Engineering CRISPR Kit)
Note: CRISPR has been mentioned multiple times on Ithaka in the context of scientific genome research but this is the first time we have seen it for 'hobbyists.' (Ithaka: How About When the Science Restores Sight in a Blind Animal)
AutoTune is the software used by the Taylor Swift set to make it sound like they're singers rather than Burger King cashiers and CRISPR is the technique by which any incipient gearhead can grow up to make rock monsters although these monsters have less to do with music than the rock monster in "Galaxy Quest."
Ed: you mean the pig lizard?
Nah, the rock monster came after the pig lizard exploded, see. (WIKI: Galaxy Quest)

Imagine that joy, huh. There was that Ohio serial killer who liked to eat people so just think of the fun he would have with kit like this.
Comes with an example experiment that teaches you many molecular biology and gene engineering techniques.
Want to really know what this whole CRISPR thing is about? Why it could revolutionize genetic engineering? This kit includes everything you need to make precision genome edits in bacteria at home including Cas9, tracrRNA, crRNA and Template DNA template for an example experiment.
Everything you need to create your first very own genetic disaster and here's the beauty part: it's all yours for $140 and there are two five-star reviews already.
It gets even better as it even contains your very own HME63 strain of E. coli and, yes, there's even more.
A sample experiment is provided which makes your E. coli harder to kill.
Includes example experiment to make a genome mutation(K43T) to the rpsL gene changing the 43rd amino acid, a Lysine(K) to a Threonine(T) thereby allowing the bacteria to survive on Strep media which would normal prevent its growth.
Now, I ask you, who could think of a more lively Christmas gift.
