Ooo. As far as DIY garage biology goes in the real world, I've been keeping an eye on the Open Insulin Project and some of the bacterial engineering that's happening right now is really cool (with, as you say, pitfalls). Fungus zombies that enjoy sunbathing are an oddly entertaining idea, and water management would be interesting to explore in a fictional context of terraforming.
