 ===== Open Food DNA ===== ===== Open Food DNA =====
  
-(screenshots or sketches up here)+The basic idea is to carry out a citizen science project to compile an open dataset of DNA information about food and beverages.
  
-Brief description goes here. Add sections below if you need more room.+Many more details about the project on the dedicated wiki [[http://wiki.hackuarium.ch/index.php?title=Open-Food-DNA|here]]. 
 + 
 +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. 
 + 
 +Somebody else (at a [[http://www.whitelabs.com|Yeast provider]] in California) seems to be working on this, too. The american press (including the [[http://www.nytimes.com/2014/05/27/science/craft-beer-at-the-genetic-level.html?_r=0|NYT]]) did cover his project, but there is no data or report available so far. 
 + 
 +===== Prototype ===== 
 + 
 +Interface - or how to present the data?
  
-Include links to your demo and/or source code. 
  
 ===== Data ===== ===== Data =====
  
-  * List and link your actual and ideal data sources.+Since we do not have data yet, we generated a random dataset using this Octave/Matlab code: 
 +(generates a random data table and calculate the euclidian distance matrix) 
 + 
 +#!/usr/bin/octave 
 +% lines : beer samble 
 +li = 10; 
 +% columns : species and sub species 
 +co = 30; 
 +M = round(rand(li,co)) 
 +O = zeros(li); 
 +for i = 1:li 
 +  for j = 1:i 
 +    O(i,j) = norm( M(:,i)-M(:,j) , 2  ); % euclidian norm 
 +  endfor 
 +endfor   
 +
 + 
 +We searched for metadata to add to the data generated and making it look more real. Few of our findings:
