Gencove low-pass sequencing genetic test with raw data access
Hi HN! I'm Miguel, an engineer at Gencove. We've just launched a new consumer product that provides genetic insights using low-pass sequencing rather than traditional microarrays. For now we offer 9 polygenic risk scores based on the eMERGE network paper: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-024-02796-z After receiving results, you can download your VCF directly (no need to go through support). Happy to answer questions about the tech, accuracy tradeoffs, or how this compares to array-based approaches.

Wrote a program in FreeBASIC to try and find out how Genetic Algorithms work. It's a quick hack that I wrote to try some theories with because the Wikipedia Article on GAs reads like greek to me. So I built it from the general principles i knew at the time. The "genome" per individual is an array of 9000 integers but I used only monochrome pictures with either black or white; An individual also has a fitness score. There are 1000 individuals in the population and only two are selected to reproduce. So that makes 9 million (yes, MEELION as El Reg would write) data points and the scoring…

Hi HN, I built Eigendrum, a web tool that solves the 2D wave equation for arbitrary shapes so you can hear what they sound like as drums. How it works: * Solves -∇²u = λu using finite element analysis (Kφ = λMφ) on a triangle mesh. * Validated to <0.1% error against closed-form solutions for circles (Bessel zeros) and rectangles. * Sound model factors in strike location, Rayleigh damping, and mallet width. * Includes Kac drums I & II to demonstrate identical sound spectra from different geometries. * No frameworks, build steps, or dependencies. Repo and tests:…
