How Haeckel actually works
Read what every number means, how each method is computed, and where the platform draws the line between confidence and uncertainty. Or ask Mirror; it has read every article in here.
Getting started
Upload your DNA, learn how Haeckel reads it, and run your first conversation with Mirror.

Mirror
A voice-first AI agent that knows your genome and can explain anything inside Haeckel.
- · Mirror, the genome-aware AI agent
- · Voice mode and the face you give Mirror
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.
- · How haplogroups work
- · Neanderthal and Denisovan ancestry
- · How your ancestry composition is computed
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.
- · Modeling offspring with a partner
- · Aneuploidy, PGT-A, and what those grades mean
Optimize
Cross-reference your biomarkers, supplements, and wearables against your genome through a knowledge graph.
- · The Deterministic Biological Knowledge Graph
Methods
How Haeckel actually computes everything, from spatial-thinning ancestry to Bayesian polygenic scoring.
