This is an old revision of the document!


The basic idea is to create an open dataset of DNA information about food and beverages.

Take beer. The assumption is that the DNA content (genetic or genomic information about every single living organism that was present during the brewing) may correlate with the type and taste of the brew.

We want to build a data workflow from sampling to visualisation to communicate this idea to the public.

Somebody else (at a Yeast provider in California) seems to be working on this, too. The american press (including the NYT) did cover his project, but there is no data or report available so far.

Interface - or how to present the data?
