Promethease Courses

Promethease is a free web-based genetic testing and analysis tool developed by genomics researchers Barry Starr and Greg Lennon. It is designed to help you understand and interpret your genetic data by providing an easy to use interface and a wide range of tools and resources to help you gain insight into your genetics. Promethease analyzes your DNA data to provide information on genetic variants, health and traits through their own research and from publications like the Human Genome Project and the Clinical Genome Resource. Promethease allows you to upload your DNA data from either AncestryDNA or 23andMe, as well as third-party providers such as MyHeritage. When you upload your data, Promethease provides you with a detailed report about your genetics, identifying hundreds of genetic markers for each of your genes. For each marker, Promethease provides the frequency of its occurrence in their database and the associated risks or benefits with the particular variant. You can also view detailed gene annotations, such as the function of the gene, and the associated health risks or benefits, as well as information on drug responses, physical traits, and diseases. In addition, Promethease also provides a suite of tools to help you analyze and interpret your DNA data. For example, you can search for specific gene variants, filters to select only certain traits, and ability to compare your data to public studies. You can also browse through articles related to your variants, allowing you to further research any particular result. Promethease is an invaluable tool for individuals who wish to explore and better understand their genetics. It is designed to be easy to use, comprehensive, accurate, and up to date, providing a wealth of information about your genetic variants, traits and risks.
