Thrilled to announce a new release! We've added support for two new genomic data types and published apps to showcase them: a doping tester and a sprint vs. marathon selector! You can also seed your Ark or Ark Emulator with sample genomes for testing.
We're still early, but it's a glimpse into the future...
The ApoE Alzheimer risk test in the sequencing[dot]com marketplace costs $39. Here's the entire, literal analysis code that's needed on @dark.bio for the exact same. You can run it *today* against your own genome, for free. Go buy me a coffee. 😋
Good morning everyone, release time 🔥 The Ark Emulator is effective immediately available for anyone to download & run: - Pair it with the Ark Companion mobile app - Manage data and run apps through the Ark Hub - Build new apps against your own genome blog.dark.bio/2026/10/12/d...
Lastly all the tools and repos and examples are agent friendly. You don't have to explore and understand everything yourself from scratch. Point your agent at us and we'll let them figure it all out for you! They can even build and run apps for you! dark.bio/llms.txt

All the example apps on the Ark Hub are open source and available on GitHub. They are more of an introductory tutorial to get you up to speed on building your own apps. Go wild building and share it with others; the ark should keep everyone's data safe. github.com/dark-bio/exa...
The Arks can be interfaced not only via the Ark Hub web dashboard, but also via the Ark CLI. It's compatible with macOS, Linux and Windows; is available on crates[.]io and Homebrew. Fully open source. github.com/dark-bio/cli

The Ark Hub lets you connect to physical or emulated Arks, manage personal genomic datasets on your device, fetch reference datasets and run genomic analysis applications. The apps listed are examples, directory service coming in the future. hub.dark.bio

The Ark Emulator is a virtual machine running on your own computer, inside it the real ArkOS firmware. The shell is open source, the firmware itself is closed for now. You can onboard the emulator on the Ark Hub (needs GitHub account, one live per user). github.com/dark-bio/emu...
Good morning! We've decided to open up our Discord chat room for the general public. It's mostly silent, but come joins us and ask questions if you're curious. discord.gg/u4Qzy7PEV9
It's been a long journey, but the dream is becoming reality: from Nature article to genetic analysis, at home.
We will be doing a meetup presentation in Zürich on the 23rd of September about agentic AI in health. If you're around, pop in and say hi! Note, spots are limited and registration is vetted (not by us, we take no blame, we're just there to speak 😅).

Just for posterity, the emulator shell will land here soon github.com/dark-bio/emu..., though be aware, the firmware it's running is closed source for now, since it is the live firmware and we don't want to open it up before a public launch.

Seems I will be giving two (!) talks about @dark.bio in Berlin soon: - 14th of June, Neo-Cypherpunk Summit (@web3privacy.info) - 16th of June, Futura Camp Come say hi :)
Per out transparency policy, we've published the public keys for the Ark I `friend` and `founder` series: secure boot-, firmware update- and device attestation keys. github.com/dark-bio/tra... The `friend` series is a limited edition gift to select people, paid by @karalabe.bsky.social.
Also worth a callout, signing the bootloader of the `friend` series crashed (post signing). Having had to redo the process, there are 2 signing operations in the HSM audit log, somewhat tainting the series. We apologise, for this mess. Detailed journal: github.com/dark-bio/tra...
