Our story began exactly one year ago, with a wild idea to do something nobody tried: self-sovereign genomics.
A year later, that idea became a reality. Whilst there is infinite work ahead, this one year mark is a moment for us to celebrate our progress.
Behold, the Ark I.

Our founder, @karalabe.bsky.social, will be attending @devcon.org in Buenos Aires in 2 weeks and will have a few "business cards" to give out.
Now, we're not saying that these are functional... but we're also not saying that these are non-functional ;)
Come (or rather go and) say hi!

New Ark I prototype just arrived, capable of storing not only the human genome (~3B basepairs, 1.6GB compressed), but the entire 30x sequencing data that's generated via an Illumina sequencer (~100B basepairs, 60.5GB compressed).

Thrilled to announce, that Dark Bio AG is officially incorporated in Zug, Switzerland! 🇨🇭
Infinite work to be done, but it's a huge step towards private, sovereign and personal genomics. 🧬
Thank you everyone involved in this milestone! 🤍

First develop device to be shared with someone 🥹
Yes, it is 3D printed to allow roughing it and taking it apart if need be. Still looks gorgeous... 🤩

The Ark companion app just got a facelift :) It's not yet coded up so the small details are not final, but definitely shaping up to look amazing 😊
