Denigma is a Project of the International Longevity Alliance intended to provide a starting point for deciphering Aging. By integrating all the heterogeneous types of biological data and applying a robust unification schema as well as utilizing the increasingly computational power for logical inference, it will be possible to solve biological problems, primarily Aging and aging-related diseases as well as suffering due to other reasons. o

This is an Open Source Project providing a platform for both life Sciences and computational Developers as well as Artists in order to address the fundamental questions of life and to systematically reveal its secrets. Denigma particularly encourages data evolution. Nothing is perfect from the beginning, besides the concept of Denigma. Denigma is as strong as diamond and as flexible as carbon-fiber, but in it's very heart it's all silicon. o

Dashboard

The Dashboard is there to give a quick overview of current main activities on Denigma.

Roadmap

  1. 3D Structures for Lifespan Factors (accomplished)
    1. Add unique identifier for small components
    2. Include structures for small molecules
    3. Enable multiple structures for a factor if available
    4. Set up auto-update functions to keep structures up-to-date.
  2. Mailing List
  3. Showing recent Database updates on Home site
  4. Collaboration features: Longevity Chats, Tasks, Quests, Videos.
  5. Genes app. Genes Interactions Visualizations and Search.
  6. Lifespan App redesign and Tutorial about how to use it
  7. Discovery Discussion and immediate formal Integration *
  8. Page viewing statistics (Google statistics, aggregation)

* If there are new discoveries they somehow need to be quickly discussed and the basic message behind the discovery needs somehow to be formalized in a formal way. For instance new Lifespan Factors.

The Three Aspects of Denigma


Research

Research is about understanding nature. To understand how the wonderful creations of evolution work, information needs to be gathered and structured in such a way that it enables to be deciphered by Denigma. The right questions need to be asked and breakthrough discoveries have to be made if we want to revolutionize medicine within our lifetime. Denigma recruits scientists to investigate the most mysterious phenomena of life which will pave the way to life longer and healthier lives. o

Programming

Programming enables to develop new digital innovations. Its about being a creator rather than just a user of digital content. In Denigma everything is fully programmable. Denigma trains programming skills and best practices to prepare for the upcoming revolution. o

Design

Design creative media reflecting your imagination. Its about making the world around us a nicer place and creating beautiful content. Denigma representation relies on innovative work of art. Media can be placed everywhere in Denigma sites. Denigma encourages the creation of wonderful artwork at the interception of nature science and computational development.

Weaving the visual Arts into a science can both help develop scientific imagination and engange non-scientists. o
