## Hello world!

We just launched lamin.ai as a place for sharing prototypes with our
beta customers and collaborators. Over time, we'll add public releases
and use this blog to explain our work.

Why Lamin? It's a metaphor for an interfacing layer between biology
and computing. Lamin proteins make up the essential filament layer
that provides the cell nucleus with structural and functional support.

 a control (a, b) and a subject with Progreria (c, d) where nuclear
 envelopes are shaped irregularly. The image is from Paradisi et al.
