Show HN: tgv: Genome viewer for you and your agents

Hacker News - Fri, 10/09/2026 - 11:12pm

Hi HN, I’m sharing tgv, a new kind of genome viewer built for humans-agent collaboration in genomics.

I work in a cancer diagnostics lab and we check cancer patients’ sequencing data in genome viewers every day. Frustrated by the standard tools, last year I built tgv, a Vim-style, keyboard-driven genome viewer.

In 2026, while agents are scarily good at bioinformatics, bioinformatics tools haven’t kept up. tgv now brings a new kind of research workflow: expose multi-omics data to agents through a fast SQL data layer and they explain the analysis right in the viewer.

The TUI is just the start.

Ask HN: Are there things more important than 'humanity', such as empathy?

Questions of passing the touring test rely on fooling people that the machine is like a human, but how that machine behaves in situations we would deem important or consequential (eg a man trapped in a room as in Ex Machina) may depend on other things, such as empathy (which is cross species). Opinions?
