Genome

Read every variant: health risk, pharmacogenomics, polygenic scores, phenotype prediction, and more.

  • · What is a polygenic risk score?
  • · Reading your APOE genotype
  • · Pharmacogenomics: when your genes change how you respond to a drug

Origins

Trace your ancestry back through 75,000 years of migration, including Neanderthal and Denisovan introgression.

Networks

Find people who share your ancestry, your haplogroups, or your interests, with two layers of consent.

  • · How the two-tier privacy model works
  • · Finding people genetically similar to you

Lab

Model your offspring against a partner before they exist, using Mendelian inheritance and polygenic scoring.
