What you can learn
GWAS findings can show associations between variants and traits such as metabolism, sleep, physical traits, disease susceptibility, and medication response research.
What raw DNA analysis can tell you
Raw DNA files from consumer tests contain genotype calls at many known variants. Monadic DNA Explorer compares those variants with GWAS Catalog studies in your browser.
Analyze a raw DNA fileHow to read the science
Each finding should be read with its study, p-value, effect size, sample context, population context, and replication status. Most effects are probabilistic and small.
Privacy model
The raw DNA file is parsed locally. Results are held in browser memory unless you choose to export them. The app should never need a DNA account to analyze your file.
Limits
GWAS associations are educational research signals. They are not medical diagnosis, ancestry assignment, or a complete picture of health risk.
