# Summary of IRC Log from April 23, 2011

* LukasDimoveo proposed a synthetic biology concept involving the creation of a synthetic chromosome with noncoding DNA and viral integration sites, which would allow for controlled gene updates at specific loci to minimize cancer development and unwanted mutations.

* Kanzure shared a link to ecosensory.com/diybio, pointing to DIY biology resources and activities.

* LukasDimoveo shared a link to Eureqa (creativemachines.cornell.edu/eureqa), a scientific data mining tool that uses evolutionary computation to discover mathematical relationships in data.

* Fenn mentioned being in a room with 10 Beagleboards, suggesting a hardware development or hacking session involving these single-board computers often used in embedded systems projects.

* The conversation was minimal but touched on key transhumanist themes including synthetic biology, DIY biology, computational tools for scientific discovery, and open hardware platforms.
