Analyzing a Genetic Variant of Unknown Significance Part 2: Driving an Amazon GPU from Claude Code

In Part 1: Analyzing a Genetic Variant of “Unknown Significance: a case study of Science-ing in the agentic era I went over my analysis of my personal genetic variant, using Claude Code, Evo 2 (the NVIDIA hosted version), and comparing with various variant pathogenicity predictors. Part 1 technique recap: Score based on short window before Read More …

Analyzing a Genetic Variant of “Unknown Significance: a case study of Science-ing in the agentic era [Part 1]

I’m a genetic testing geek. My future husband and I compared genomes before our first date (23andme). Later I had my full gene workup done by Nebula genomics. When I needed standard embryo genetic testing, I sprung for the full genome variety. And as information comes in about the disease history of family members, I’ve Read More …

I Made Proteins from Custom DNA in My Garage. Almost Nobody Checked. [AKA Glowing Yeast, Custom Plasmids, and a Garage Full of E. coli]

I’ve spent most of my career writing code. But in early 2025, I decided to build something different: a home biohacking lab for education. I wrote about the building process, and today I’m going to share a few key experiments I did with it. All of these experiments and more are available in my lab Read More …

How To Setup a Home Biohacking Lab for Education

Recently I’ve gotten very interested in bio-manufacturing and synthetic biology in the context of precision fermentation. I have an academic background in physics and computer science, and the last time I took a biology class was as a senior in college at MIT. To educate myself, I’ve equipped a home garage lab and am doing Read More …
