BioHackrXiv is a preprint server to report on works done during BioHackathons, CodeFests, Sprints or similar events and related to Life Sciences and Health Care domains. Articles in BioHackrXiv commonly report on-going work as a couple of days of hacking are commonly not enough to get the things fully done. However, hackathon reports should still show work that people can build upon. BioHackrXiv is indexed by Europe PMC.

One of the reasons behind BioHackathons and similar is sharing: ideas, data, designs, software, documentations and tutorials among others. We therefore kindly ask you to use the CC-BY 4.0 license for your work. We also encourage you to share your code on GitHub, with an open license whenever possible.
