-'''BeerDeCoded''' is a quest to sequence the DNA inside 1,000 beers from the world. The project is led by [[Hackuarium]] member [[User:Randogp|Gianpaolo Rando]].

-=Overall goal=
-BeerDeCoded is a research project to draw a genetic map of beers. The public contributes to every step of this project: from securing funding to doing the experiment, from testing (and tasting) the samples to publishing the results. BeerDeCoded is doing-research-together, on the streets, in the bars and in an open laboratory. BeerDeCoded is a funny iteration of the [[Open-Food-DNA|Open Food DNA]] project.

-=Beer DNA?=
-Beer is a living beverage. The DNA comes from its ingredients (hops, grains, yeast). There are 1,000+ yeast varieties used for brewing and 200+ hops species, each one bearing a different DNA. Artisanal beer (craft beer) is trendy: microbreweries produce a large variety of beers, each one with its unique recipe and taste. It seems impossible to taste them all, so we are making a "tree of beers" based on their biochemical composition.
-=So What now?=
-We received the Kickstarter payment and we are actively working on beer DNA extractions, sequencing and bioinformatics.
-* All the tasks are in this [[Trello]]: https://trello.com/b/NyG1Z7A7/beerdecoded-execution
-* Our last update (October 27, 2015) for our Kickstarter backers: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/489252126/beerdecoded-the-1000-beer-genomes/posts/1394351
-Want to help us? Drop us a note or join an #OpenHackuarium.
-=Events=
-Sometimes we organise BeerDeCoded workshops at Hackuarium. We also load a miniaturized laboratory on a cargo-bike and bring beer DNA sequencing to public events.

-* EXPO15 Milan, Swiss Pavillon
-* LIFT Basel, "the future of food". Workshop page
-If you want BeerDeCoded at your event, please contact gianpaolo.rando@swissdecode.ch
-=How we finance the project?=
-At LIFT15 conference in Geneva, we discussed the project during a science crowdfunding workshop. We then joined the first Science x Kickstarter hackathon in New York (Feb 28, 2015) to craft a crowd-funding campaign for a pilot beer DNA experiment. We have been successfully funded 20 days after the launch on June 2015. After that, we attracted some sponsorship from local partners. Today BeerDeCoded runs on a voluntary basis.

-=Budget=
-We have funding for sequencing 96 beers. Rough project costs:
-* 500 CHF - Beer collection
-*1000 CHF - DNA purification (we extract DNA out of the beer)
-*5500 CHF - DNA amplification and multiplexing (we amplifiy the DNA, we label it with a ID code and we pool the labeled samples inside a sequencer)
-*3000 CHF - DNA sequencing.
-Other steps (manpower, bioinformatic analyses, data visualisation and communication) are done on a voluntary basis.
