On‑Device DNA Analysis
Analyze your raw DNA securely on your device - private by design, fast in practice.
Privacy by default
All computations happen locally. We never receive, process, or store your genetic data on our servers.
Optimized performance
Modern browsers handle large SNP files efficiently. No network bottlenecks, no upload queues.
Eliminates cloud risk
Because DNA never leaves your device, typical cloud risks like misconfiguration or breaches do not apply.
You stay in control
Cache results locally or clear them at any time. Your file never leaves your possession.
How on‑device analysis works
- 1. Load your file: Import raw DNA from your testing provider (e.g., text‑based SNP export).
- 2. Local parsing: Your browser parses the file and normalizes SNP data for analysis.
- 3. Trait scoring: We compute trait indicators based on published associations. No data leaves your device.
- 4. Results: View interactive explanations across categories like appearance, sleep, learning, and more.
When this approach shines
- • You want maximum privacy and control by keeping data on your device.
- • You need faster results without upload delays.
- • You prefer a lightweight, self‑serve experience in the browser.
Known limitations
- • Limited by your device’s CPU and memory for very large files.
- • Results are educational and not medical advice.
- • Some niche formats may require conversion to common SNP text exports.
Frequently asked questions
What does “on‑device” mean in practice?
All parsing and trait calculations happen inside your browser using local compute. Your raw DNA file is never uploaded to our servers.
Which DNA file types are supported?
We support common raw data formats from major providers (e.g., 23andMe‑style text exports and similar SNP lists).
Will my results be saved online?
No. Results are rendered in your session. You can opt to cache locally in your browser or clear everything at any time.
How long does analysis take?
Most files complete in a few seconds to a couple of minutes depending on size and your device performance.
Are results medical advice?
No. Results are educational. Genetics is probabilistic and influenced by environment; consult qualified professionals for medical decisions.
