How it works

From a file you already have to a report worth reading — in seconds.

01

Bring your file

Download your raw data from 23andMe, AncestryDNA, MyHeritage, or FamilyTreeDNA — the same .txt or .zip you can already export. No new kit, no waiting weeks.

02

We decode it locally

Your file is parsed in your browser. Strand reads hundreds of thousands of genetic markers and runs every analysis on your own machine.

03

Explore the real you

Ancestry composition, maternal & paternal haplogroups, traits, carrier status, medication response, and a searchable map of every marker — with the science behind each call.

What you get

More than ancestry. The whole picture — with receipts.

🌍

Ancestry composition

A real admixture estimate across 7 world regions, computed from ancestry-informative markers — not a vague pie chart.

🧭

Deep lineage

Your maternal (mtDNA) and paternal (Y-DNA) haplogroups, traced back along the human migration tree.

🧬

Trait decoder

30+ traits — eye color, taste, caffeine, sleep, muscle type and more, each with the gene and study behind it.

🩺

Carrier & health

Well-established carrier and risk variants, clearly framed as research-grade and never as a diagnosis.

💊

Pharmacogenomics

How your CYP enzymes and transporters shape your response to common medications, mapped to CPIC guidance.

🔎

Genome explorer

Search any rsID and see your genotype instantly, with one click out to dbSNP and ClinVar. Power-user heaven.

The difference that matters

Your DNA is the most personal data there is. It never leaves your device.

When a genetics company goes bankrupt or gets breached, your genome becomes someone else's asset. Strandis built so that can't happen: parsing and analysis run in your browser. We never receive your file, never store your markers, and never sell anything to anyone. There's nothing to leak.
