Build DNA-personalized apps using GENOME LINK API, the world’s premier DNA-integration API - Devpost We’ve detected that you are using an unsupported browser.? Genomics and intepreting genome data used to be stuff of scientists. But with the rapid rise of sequencing technology and APIs like GENOME LINK API, the opportunity to contribute to this exciting field has become wide open for developers. Our previous in-person hackathons in Tokyo and San Francisco have been a huge success. We created this online hackathon to invite the worldwide community of developers to take part in thinking up and building the next killer genomics app! - Create apps that provide actionable insights based on users’ genome data. - Build tools to help users understand their DNA better. Read about GENOME LINK API use cases in apps hacked out at past in-person hackathons here , here and, here . Q: Who is Awakens? - UC Berkeley SkyDeck and Illumina Accelerator -backed early stage genomic software startup based in Berkeley, California. We started as a weekend project in our hometown of Tokyo, Japan. - We are a team of scientists, engineers, and businesspeople passionate about the potential of genomicsespecially whole genome data ( as opposed to genotyped data )to reveal unprecendented amounts of physical, physiological, mental, and cognitive insights. These insights will help us 1. get to know ourselves and our identity better and 2. make better lifestyle decisions, big and small. We want to reshape the way each person interacts with their genome. - Read about our team here . Eligibility The Hackathon IS open to: Individuals who are at least 18 years of age as of the time of entry ("Eligible Individuals") Teams of Eligible Individuals ("Teams") Teams of Eligible Individuals entering on behalf of Organizations (including corporations, not-for-profit corporations and other nonprofit organizations, limited liability companies, partnerships, and other legal entities) that exist and have been organized or incorporated at the time of entry ("Organizations") Requirements Create a working software application that integrates GENOME LINK API.
