Genomics · how it works

Your DNA,
read on your device.

Bring a raw file from 23andMe, AncestryDNA, or a whole-genome sequence. Further reads it locally, fills in the positions your chip never measured, and turns it into plain-English insight you can actually use. Not a single base ever leaves your machine.

30.4M variants·GRCh38·Read entirely on your Mac

From a raw chip to the whole genome.

The figures and results shown below are an illustrative example profile, not your own results.

612,431

positions genotyped

Read your raw chip

A 23andMe v5 export directly measures about 612,431 positions across your genome.

30.4M

variants resolved

Phase and impute

Statistical phasing against the 1000 Genomes + HGDP reference panel fills in the positions your chip skipped, at concordance R² > 0.8 for common variants.

readout areas

Read across the genome

Directional trait scores, drug-processing tendencies, carrier checks, and benign traits all read from the same file, computed and kept on your Mac.

What it reads

Everything your DNA points to, in plain English.

Pharmacogenomics

How your body tends to process compounds.

About one in four prescription drugs is broken down by a small set of genes. Reading yours describes a general tendency in how your body processes certain everyday compounds, useful background for a conversation with your clinician.

  • Common prescription drugsTypical processing
  • Statin responseTypical
  • Warfarin (blood thinner)Increased tendency
  • FluoropyrimidinesTypical

Mapped to CPIC pharmacogenomic guidance. Educational context for you and your clinician, not a prescription.

Directional loading

Which way your DNA leans.

A polygenic score adds up millions of tiny genetic effects into a single directional signal, which way your DNA leans for a trait. It's context for a conversation with your clinician, not a diagnosis, and it's less precise for non-European ancestries.

  • Heart healthLeans higher
  • Memory & agingLeans slightly higher
  • Blood-sugar handlingLeans lower
  • Heart rhythmAround average

Directional signals only, no percentiles or absolute risk. Less precise for non-European ancestries. Observations, not a diagnosis.

Nutrition & food response

How your body reacts to what you eat.

Small genetic differences change how you handle caffeine, dairy, alcohol, and fat. None of it is destiny, but it explains a lot of what you already feel.

  • CaffeineSlower processing
  • LactoseTolerant
  • Saturated fatStronger LDL response
  • Vitamin DLower baseline

Carrier status

What you could pass on.

A recessive condition needs two broken copies to show up. Carrying one usually means nothing for your own health, but it matters for family planning.

  • Hereditary hemochromatosisCarrier · one copy
  • Cystic fibrosisNot detected
  • Hereditary breast & ovarianNot detected
  • Tay-SachsNot detected

Traits

The small stuff that's just you.

Not medical, just human. Hundreds of little readouts, from eye color to whether cilantro tastes like soap.

  • Eye colorLikely brown / hazel
  • ChronotypeSlight morning preference
  • CilantroTastes normal, not soapy
  • Earwax typeWet (typical European)
DNA privacy

Your DNA never leaves your device.

Genomes can never be revoked or changed. Further parses your raw file locally and reads only the positions needed for analysis. Your raw data is never uploaded, never logged, never shared. Same variant, same finding, every time.
