Hey Guys,
-- I see alot mentions to do with open science but I rarely see full open source sequences? Why is that?
Would DIYBio be served borrowing some concepts from the software world in terms of their Free & Open Source Software movement? as well as using version control (git?) to document the sequence history.
AFAIK the main reason is current approach is very much a bottom-up approach, where it's easier and cheaper to use various enzymes to chop and insert various segments until you get what you want, then to provide a protocol on how to repeat this process... but an alterantive would be to provide with a complete sequence first, then allow the "compiler" (lab monkey) to generate a protocol?
That way multiple people could use the same source code sequence, adapt and fork it, but ultimately use various different techniques/protocols (such as dna printing) to get to the end result.
Or is there some other reason I've overlooked?
