# Interface for easy configuration of genes
## What are we doing and why are we doing it?
### The Problem
- People are not aware of where genetic engineering might be going

### The future problem
- People cannot make babies for biological or psychical reasons
- People cannot make babies alone or in teams of more than two
- The assembly of genes in the process of human reproduction is mostly random, which makes a terrible starting point
- Assembly of genes in the process of human reproduction is mostly random, which makes a terrible starting point
### The Solution
- Digital user interface that let's you assemble a healthy humans' gene-sequence out of your own or yours and your partner(s) regardless the amount, gender or fertility so you can let people in the lab know exactly how they should assemble the genes you send them.

## Who are we?
Bernard Seip, student at the University of Saarbrücken, researching CRISPR
Victor Giers, student at the College of Fine Arts Saarbrücken, creating interfaces of the future

## What do we need?
We’re open!

Genetically modified humans are reality (German)

Humanoid clones are a reality since 2017 -> Dolly

Humanity increased fifteen-fold over the last 500 years. Forecasts of how this continues predict most different directions - if we're actually 5 billion more people in 50 years we need strategies, of how to feed all them.

"Researchers Want to Link Your Genes and Income—Should They?"
German summary: "In Zukunft werden Arbeitgeber bei Bewerbungen nach einem genetischen Einkommens-Scoring fragen.
Krankenversicherungen werden ebenfalls durch die Gene ihrer Kunden Einstufungen vornehmen.
Staaten werden für soziale Förderungen die Gene eines Bürgers in Betracht ziehen, um ihn hierdurch qualifizieren oder disqualifizieren zu können"

There are about 20.000 protein-generating genetic sequences which differentiate from human to human. That is Big Data which AI-researchers are working with, for example at the German Institute of Artificial Intelligence, together with the department of biology at the University of Saarland
