I am writing this after discussing DIY biology, or more precisely bioinformatics, with an LLM. It suggested that I should make a proof of concept for GitHub, start by sequencing 16S rRNA from two different samples, analyse and present the results on said platform. Building a portfolio that way. (I would like to point out that my ideas for samples are my own not the AIs.)
Here are my thoughts on this:
Value and credibility: Even if it were possible to implement, and sceptical I could do it myself, I usually have hybris, what would the value be to others? No one would be able to verify if I handled the tests correctly. I could even lie about the results.
Cost and logistics: Sending samples to companies that do this type of sequencing can be expensive. I live in Europe so for customs, and other reasons, it could be nice to use a European company. (Not that I do not think the Chinese or the Americans can do science.)
That's why I'm turning to you. Has anyone done something similar? What are your experiences and which companies can you recommend? Are there any specific challenges or tips you would like to share?
Thanks in advance for your answers and opinions!
PS. I kind of wrote this for Reddit but where you need "karma" to be read?
