Nice idea! (and very soon you have 1000s of startup ideas ;-))

My point is not about having the cheapest solution. I just don't trust anyone else with my genomic information, even if they say it's anonymous. (I'm a biotech engineer, from Europe; maybe that explains my reservation ;-))

At some point, I would love to setup something like this but then completely local and open-source. This could e.g. include a sequencing kit (Nanopore MinION sequencer (<$ 1,000) plus necessary consumables), protocols, and in silico work

I can recommend checking out https://openepaperlink.de/ . It's a project to repurpose e-ink electronic shelf labels (in various sizes, ranging from 1.54" to 7.4"). I have been playing around with it the last f

Yeah, good point - don't know. When I tried I actually did get a (personal?) email saying that it didn't match closely enough. After uploading another sample (based on a different text) it went through. I like your idea of just tr

When I tried this service previously, you had to read (out loud) something saying that you were giving consent.

There are indeed a few practical applications. Next to Berkely lights, there is e.g. the LabChip from PerkinElmer that separates DNA and proteins. I had hoped that there would be many more examples by now. Most presentations that I see abou

In the biotech field is indeed quite common to refer to microbes as bugs. Thanks for reminding that this is ambiguous outside the field!

Just a random thought (lived both in the US and in the EU): could it be that US ovens are more often gas ovens while in the EU it's mostly electric? (might be easier to get higher temperatures with gas). Couldn't find statistics o

Another useful resource is hadolint ( https://github.com/hadolint/hadolint ), which not only gives additional recommendations, but also a way to enforce this.

Are you interested in salary ranges in the US and/or NL?

What about some MOOCS? There are plenty that will introduce you to this area.

I think this depends a bit on the area. I work in the field of metabolic engineering (i.e. engineering microbes to make new products). When I worked at a biotech company in the Bay Area, I had a pretty decent salary, while still a bit lower

I don't think so, as alcohol is not degraded via P450 enzymes..

This isn't a scientific study of course, but still I do miss the negative reference (i.e. without any detergent). Additionally, it would be nice to quantify the 'cleanness' of a run (perhaps weighing the dishes before and aft

I'm wondering whether that's indeed the case. It seems that at least some genotype has been identified to cause such a phenotype ( https://science.sciencemag.org/content/346/6213/1084 ). If you know w

Does anyone know why sequencing is not used to QC such seeds before releasing them?

You're right that you don't need CRISPR for genome engineering of S. cerevisiae (baker's yeast) or E. coli. However, having worked with both prokaryotes and eukaryotes it definitely makes life easier. During my PhD (about met
