Genomelink Hackathon 2.0: Build hyper-personalized consumer applications using insights from DNA data with Genomelink API
Genomelink Hackathon 2.0 follows the successful launch of the first edition of our online hackathon, also hosted on Devpost. If you are in the San Francisco Bay Area, consider joining our in-person hackathons. Sign up for our mailing list to stay tuned for future online & offline events.
The Genomelink Hackathon, hosted by venture-backed genomic startup, AWAKENS, is a developer competition leveraging Genomelink API, to seek out novel use cases for how insights from genomic data can be applied -- to provide actionable insights and access to hyper-personalized services, and education on genomics.
The number of consumers who had their DNA analyzed more than doubled in 2017, with more than 1 in 25 US adults now with their genetic data on hand. The information in our genomic data has the potential to inform on our nutrition, fitness, personality, cognition, and more. Yet, the insights available from genomic data are not yet made relevant or useful to people’s lives. How can we use this data effectively?
Genomelink API enables any developer/company to create apps or services that are hyper-personalized, based on their users’ DNA data. Here’s how: Genomelink API provides insights on genetic traits of interest with just a few lines of code -- without advanced requirements like genomics expertise or how to securely handle raw DNA data. This means that you’ll be able rapidly integrate DNA-personalization into your new or existing app. With APIs like Genomelink API, the opportunity for developers to contribute to the exciting new field of personal genomics has become wide open!
What kind of personalized app will you create, to enhance people’s lives through improving our health, wellness, lifestyle, and learning experience?
Get started now by creating your free Genomelink developer account, learning how to use Genomelink API(review the list of genetic traits available here), and reading about apps developed in previous Genomelink hackathons.
About AWAKENS:
AWAKENS has built Genomelink, a Stripe-type API solution that enables any developers / companies to build hyper-personalized apps based on the consumer’s DNA data. Supported by Illumina Accelerator, Berkeley SkyDeck, key Berkeley and Stanford faculties in nutrition and genomics, AWAKENS is building an infrastructure that will fuel the creation of diversified value-producing use cases of personal genomics.
