Question 1

How is my privacy protected?

Accepted Answer

Your DNA data is processed entirely in your browser—it never leaves your device or gets uploaded to any server. This client-side approach means your genetic information remains 100% private and under your control. We cannot access your DNA data, and neither can anyone else.

Question 2

Do I need to order a new DNA test?

Accepted Answer

No! If you've already done a DNA test with 23andMe, AncestryDNA, MyHeritage, or similar services, you can use that existing data. Just download your raw DNA file from their website and upload it here.

Question 3

Are the reports medically actionable?

Accepted Answer

Our reports provide educational and research-based genetic insights designed to support informed conversations with your healthcare provider. The information is meant to help you and your doctor discuss potential genetic factors that may be relevant to your treatment.

Question 4

What genetic variants do you analyze?

Accepted Answer

We analyze thousands of genetic variants related to medication metabolism and pharmacogenomics. This includes genes like MTHFR, COMT, CYP2D6, CYP2C19, CYP2C9, VKORC1, SLCO1B1, and many others that affect drug metabolism and treatment response.

Question 5

How accurate and reliable are the reports?

Accepted Answer

Our algorithm performs cross-analysis using multiple authoritative databases including CPIC clinical guidelines, PharmGKB pharmacogenomic annotations, DPWG dosing guidelines, FDA biomarker data, and PubMed research literature. We cite thousands of peer-reviewed research papers to support our findings.

Question 6

Can I share my reports with my doctor?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! All reports can be downloaded as PDFs that you can share with your healthcare provider. The reports include detailed genetic information, research citations, and evidence-based insights that can help guide treatment discussions.

Question 7

Why don't you offer DNA testing services?

Accepted Answer

We deliberately focus on research-level genetic analysis rather than DNA testing itself. This allows us to provide comprehensive, educational insights without the extensive regulatory compliance required for clinical DNA testing services.

Question 8

Why do I need my DNA data before I can get reports?

Accepted Answer

Our reports are personalized to your unique genetic profile. We analyze your specific genetic variants and cross-reference them with research databases to provide insights tailored to you—not generic information that applies to everyone.

Question 9

What happens to my DNA data after I upload it?

Accepted Answer

Your raw DNA file never gets uploaded to our servers—it's processed entirely in your browser. Only a small summary of key genetic variants is transmitted in anonymized form. After processing, your original file data is immediately cleared from browser memory.

Question 10

What file formats do you accept?

Accepted Answer

We accept raw DNA data files from 23andMe, AncestryDNA, MyHeritage, Living DNA, and other major providers. Files are typically in .txt or .zip format.
