Open Biology: Revolutionizing biological research
summary
Claims specific tools and numbers: analysis relies on R and ImageJ rather than SPSS or Photoshop, with SPSS costing ~₹79,000/year and sequence editor Genius ~₹70–80k/year. Built an open-source flow pump that costs ₹14,000/unit versus commercial ₹97,000, cutting 40-unit cost from ~₹40 lakh to ~₹5 lakh; design and methods are on GitHub and results are in an open‑access paper. Uses spectral clustering with a CS collaboration (paper published) but code remains in a private repo. Fragrance study covers 23 species × 5 samples, finds day/night scent shifts in the genus Hium, analyzed by GC‑MS. Mentions open PCR kit at ~$500 and DIY microscope <$1.
