I've no idea about biotech, but it's not as if this kit has some molecular factory that can build you arbitrary DNA strands. As far as I know, there is no magic cauldron where you can throw eye of newt for adenine, toe of frog for cytosine and so on, and it would spew out a flask of plasmids built to your spec.

And that E.Coli strain... I believe I may have more dangerous stuff in my lower intestine.
