RNA-Sequencing data analysis is a common workflow in computational biology. In this article we are going to explore how decentralised storage and compute infrastructure can facilitate the processing of such biological data.

At the heart of LabDAO is the idea that a community-operated open-source marketplace protocol for laboratory services could 1) accelerate progress and 2) generate a dynamic knowledge graph for biomedicine, where the receipts of past transactions among scientists serve as its building blocks.

Why has open source been such an overall success, while open science is still lacking behind?

"At LabDAO, we are coming together to build a community-owned and operated protocol to exchange laboratory services, instructions, and data." As our statement suggests, the core of our mission is the development and adoption of LAB protocol, a communication protocol for the internet of work, with a focus on life sciences.

“At LabDAO, we are coming together to build a community-owned and operated platform to run scientific laboratory services, exchange protocols, and share data.” Currently, this is the one-liner we use at labDAO to describe what we are doing. As you can probably tell from the sentence, we are still working on improving our messaging.

At LabDAO, we are coming together to build a community-owned and operated platform to run laboratory services, exchange protocols, and share data. To develop an open protocol for the exchange of scientific services, labDAO requires contributions from a wide variety of talented people.
