• A new paper on the theoretical limits of DNA-based data storage was circulated: “Fundamental Limits of DNA Storage Systems” (Heckel et al.) explores the Shannon-capacity of DNA under synthesis, sequencing, and mutation constraints.  
• A companion ACS Synthetic Biology article, “Driving the Scalability of DNA-Based Information Storage Systems,” was also shared, focusing on practical engineering improvements to push DNA storage toward exabyte-scale archives.  
• Transcripts from the Bitcoin Core developer meetings were posted to diyhpl.us covering code-review practices and wallet-architecture redesigns; these are being mined for insights on secure, decentralized key management relevant to future genomic or bio-crypto applications.  
• A recap of the American Society of Human Genetics webinar on polygenic risk scores was linked, summarizing current best practices for calculating and interpreting PRSs in clinical and direct-to-consumer settings.  
• Agilent’s ongoing patent lawsuit against Twist Bioscience (motion to amend complaint granted) was noted as a potentially pivotal case for IP boundaries in commercial DNA synthesis and storage markets.
