+To help hatch this network, PGPincubator is creating a network (using Tailscale) of “h-grams.” A h-gram is 1-4 microSD cards (3-4 weigh about a gram!) each flashed with a bootable operating system image and pre-loaded with data and tools. The PGPincubator open source project develops and maintains the scripts, process documentation and data resources required to build/test the h-gram image. These h-grams can then be booted on compatible commodity PC hardware. The operating system (Ubuntu) is pre-configured to act as a server suitable for home, office or lab and is accessed by other devices through a browser. Each h-gram will be pre-loaded with hundreds of gigabytes of openly licensed infrastructure software, bioinformatics tools, genomic datasets, AI models, and learning resources, making them ideal for education, validation, and benchmarking in biomedical research.
