GeneCodex is a fascinating and innovative genetic data explorer that provides you with extremely valuable insights about the genetic variants associated with susceptible health conditions, personality, appearance traits and much more. GeneCodex leverages the extensive SNPedia database and processes your genetic data locally in your browser to provide a lot of precious information about your unique DNA.
SNPedia is a wiki resource that is freely available for personal use since 2006 and lists the functional consequences of genetic variation published extensively in peer-reviewed studies. It focuses especially on the medical, phenotypic, and genealogical associations of SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms)
Key Features:

Data used by GeneCodex:
When you take a DNA test that is offered by AncestryDNA, 23andMe or FamilyTreeDNA, your Genome is sequenced but the information that is revealed to you by them is just a small portion of what is sequenced. Nevertheless, you are allowed to download your genetic information collected by the service provider in the form of a plain text file (.txt). This file contains a long lost of raw letters and numbers that may appear senseless to humans, but which represent the SNPs that have been detected in your genome. It is this file that you must upload to GeneCodex to process and interpret your genetic information.
