Biohacking with Python: How to Become Mr. Burns Fluorescent
summary
A Python script and FASTA parser are used to design CRISPR reagents: it outputs a mutated target sequence, guide RNA(s), and DNA repair template(s) to delete the y r f4 gene for baldness, introduce a C→T change at androgen receptor position 363 to alter pigment, and append GFP at a gene end for fluorescence. The code is published in a GitHub repo (biohaking_payconas23) and the demo covers sequence-design only (no validated human experiments), with repeated emphasis on legal and safety limits.
