Genetic and Biotech Advancement LaboratoryThe Genetic and Biotech Advancement Laboratory is a modular set of equipment which can be set up in almost any building. There is a portable generator with it's own fuel supply, and the generator can be hooked up to each other station making up the laboratory to share power and fuel. Stations requiring fuel, such as those with Bunsen burners, also come equipped with refillable fuel bottles for when they are set up too far from the generator. Each station can be folded down into it's counter top and compacted into a small space, or at least as small as delicate scientific equipment will go, with space for samples and ongoing projects that need to be stored long term while a lab is being redeployed elsewhere
The primary purpose of the Genetic and Biotech Advancement Laboratory is to advance our knowledge of the genetic makeup of specimens alien and those we (may have) brought with us from earth, and the secondary purpose is to modify lifeforms into those more suited to our purposes. By utilizing custom built equipment, and utilizing CRISPR and other techniques for examination, insertion, deletion, or otherwise modification of genetic codes, in live specimens or in embryos, we can create a database of genetic code and Genetically Modified Organisms adapted to native environments, primarily food crops for the time being.
The tertiary goal is to find and research ways of integrating technology into lifeforms without implant rejection, to find ways of controlling the growth or actions of organisms created in GBALs, or enhance organisms beyond their biological limit. The scientists who are to be deployed with GBAL modules to operate them are excited to eventual revolutionize the field of biology to bioengineer new solutions to our problems, though these will take time, and more research. The GBAL Infrastructure will be easy to spread to every corner of the solar system that we visit, advancing our knowledge and speeding our research of biology greatly.
By having our labs be modular and mobile, we are able to set up as many as needed, and keep them on the forefront of our expansion, keeping our databases updated instantly as we encounter new life, and allowing us to train new biologists in the field. Being able to observe lifeforms in their native habitats, or infiltrating into an alien habitat, from close by allows our scientists to learn more about them before taking them apart. Further, we don't have to wait for military assets to deliver specimens back to a stationary, or deliver our research to where it can be useful - it can be deployed immediately as it's researched.
(Alternative) The Genetic and Biotech Advancement Laboratory is a large facility we have built in the center of our colony, with two stories filled with multiple research stations and storage facilities, plus containment zones with life support geared to support captured life forms to be researched.

The GBAL Infrastructure will require samples and specimens from other planets to be shipped to the facility, but will allow us to stay on top of research, forging our way into the forefront of biology research.
