Boolean Biotech is the company blog at blog.booleanbiotech.com, writing about science and programming. Since 2016, 17 different Hacker News readers have linked it 18 times, most often “Engineering Proteins in the Cloud with Python and Transcriptic”. No feed was found, so read it on the site itself.
Too few sampled comments (2) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link Boolean Biotech for posts on sequencing DNA at home with a USB dongle and open-source code, and for writeups of an protein binder design competition. Commenters mostly cite the posts as sources.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 2 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
