Our own peer-reviewed research

The science behind your results

Here's what we've published, who signed it with us, and the literature we rely on to interpret your DNA. Everything links to the original paper: the idea is that you don't have to take our word for it.

Better predicting type 1 diabetes risk with neural networks

A neural network that uses how much information each variant contributes to better separate high risk from low risk. It was tested against independent data from the UK Biobank and the German Diabetes Study.

Peer-reviewed Open access

Combining polygenic risk score and personal data in late-onset Alzheimer's

A model that combines the polygenic risk score with variables like age or sex, instead of looking at genetics alone. In validation, it identified 8 out of 10 real cases (a sensitivity of 0.80).

Publishing is not the same as consulting

Beyond doing our own research, we interpret every variant using public, reference scientific databases: the UK Biobank, ClinVar, CPIC, dbSNP, and the GWAS Catalog. These are two different things, and both matter: some are our own studies, the others are the literature we work from.

A prediction model estimates probabilities across a population; it doesn't diagnose an individual. Your genetics has an influence, but it doesn't determine the outcome.

Who vouches for the science

Behind every report are three named people

This isn't an anonymous “scientific team”. These are the people who build the models and sign the publications, with their qualifications and academic ID so you can check it yourself.
