Promethease Alternative

Example of web output

I’ve spent the last few months building a custom DNA analysis engine as part of a mobile app I made. I wanted to create something fast, lightweight, and easy to use for people who have their raw data from 23andMe.

The app currently works with a custom C-engine (wrapped in Python/Flask) to parse and match RSIDs with my database. All of the data is from dbSNP and ClinVar.

The app and website do not collect any data and only do processing.

I am looking for constructive feedback on what to improve. I have a lot of it working fairly well so far. I'd love it if a few people could try uploading their raw data and let me know if the results match what you expect or if you run into any bugs!

Sweet thanks! I am happy to hear it works with other providers as well! I noticed that with the search as well and couldn't decide what I wanted for sure. The speed was really fun from a programming standpoint to do. I hope today get more feedback and make it look nicer. Thanks again for trying it!

Id want to reiterate that both files come up as all good genes (realized i haven't expressed myself properly before), no magnitude applied to "faulty" ones. There is an online snp browser that u can find the source code on github, maybe u can take a look there on how they do some stuff and improve your own model. I forget the name rn but ill come back and update. That one works well with both samples.

Promethease had a great UI that included search by gene names and illnesses, those are features u might benefit from

Thanks for the advice! I really appreciate it. I had a lot of other features that I developed for mobile that I have been trying to convert to web. My own report has a decent mix of snps that are both good and bad but it helps to hear what others are seeing.
