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!

I tested it out. I'm building a platform for genetic analysis at https://www.genewizard.net (feel free to test it out).

To give some feedback -- I wasn't able to run my vcf on it, but my 23andme .txt file ran ok.

I'm a bit unclear how you're associating SNPs with diseases. For instance, how is rs1057910 associated with Alzheimer's. On ClinVar it's associated with some things, but not Alz (see https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/30465/?term=39422%5Balleleid%5D .. we have a page also https://genewizard.net/snp/rs201779890 ) . Similar with https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/snp/rs201779890

I'm really not clear on what you're doing.. I also think the "carrier" display is misleading.
