Gamification of Open-Source Operomics Solutions

Outcome

A system that will collect “operomics” - the data pertaining to molecular analysis of DNA, RNA and proteins - from people. The system will use gamification elements to encourage people to voluntarily (and even eagerly) donate their data for research purposes.

Impact

A system that collects cell and tissue data from people and shares it for research purposes could help accelerate drug development, as new promising drug candidates and targets could be discovered by analyzing the massive amount of standardized data. The data gathered may also facilitate the formulation of a unified model for aging.

    @GeorgePerry, @bschurman, @TinaWoods, this is one of the potential breakthroughs in longevity that was developed at the lab. What are your thoughts on it? Would this be enough of a breakthrough to radically extend human life? Is anyone, other than XPRIZE, likely to work on this?

    Is the plan to have a deeper version of 23 and me?
