- A participant proposed creating an automated “sequence-alignment-on-demand” web service by wrapping Crossbow in Ruby, speculating that biotech labs owning sequencers but lacking in-house pipelines might pay for instant alignment results.

- An experiment in AI-assisted curriculum design was outlined: scrape keyword data from bioinformatics e-books, correlate it against the GENIA ontology, and auto-generate hierarchical, concept-linked educational material.

- A new open-source PhoneGap app generator was introduced that scaffolds jQuery Mobile + Backbone.js projects and cross-compiles them to iPhone, Android, Windows Phone, and BlackBerry binaries, aimed at accelerating mobile prototyping for biohackers and hardware startups.

- Supporting toolkits were shared: Compass/Sass/Blueprint for maintainable CSS, jQuery Mobile + Backbone.js for rapid PhoneGap scaffolding, and Weinre for remote Chrome-style debugging of mobile web apps.

- Henry Markram’s latest Blue Brain Project presentations from the 2011 International Supercomputing Conference were circulated via three YouTube links.

- A high-profile longevity-genetics paper was retracted from *Science*; the channel noted that the study used the Illumina 610-Quad v1 SNP chip—the same microarray platform employed in a prior intelligence-genetics study—and observed that once data are released online, they cannot truly be retracted.
