About
privatedna is a browser-based tool that computes polygenic risk scores for five psychiatric conditions using raw DNA files from 23andMe, MyHeritage, or AncestryDNA. All processing happens locally in the browser via JavaScript, meaning no genetic data is ever uploaded or stored on a server. Scoring is based on Psychiatric Genomics Consortium research and is explicitly framed as informational context, not a medical diagnosis.
Problem
People with raw DNA files have no way to compute genetic risk scores without uploading sensitive data to third-party servers.
For
individuals who have existing raw DNA data from consumer genetics services and want privacy-preserving genetic insights
How it works
Users upload a raw DNA file which is parsed entirely by JavaScript in the browser tab, and polygenic risk scores are computed locally without any data leaving the device.
