I remember going to a talk where the head of synthetic biology at MIT talked about his work. One of the things he is working on are educational kits for young students. You might want to Google search BioBits.

Last time I checked, the product wasn't readily available for sale, though I wish it were. Aside from that, there really isn't a kit the way you would purchase a chemistry kit.

If you were to pursue this as a hobby and would like to approach this without a kit, I would suggest you at least make sure you have the money to do it. The equipment, reagents, and analysis is incredibly expensive.
