Mutant can analyze compatible genetic data you already have from:
You do not need to purchase a new DNA test if you already have supported genetic data.
And your complete raw DNA file does not need to be uploaded to Mutant.
When you select your DNA data, Mutant reads it locally in your browser, identifies the genetic markers needed for the analysis, and sends only those required markers.
Your complete raw DNA stays in your browser.
Mutant is designed to work with raw genetic data, not screenshots or summary reports.
| DNA source | Supported | What to expect |
|---|---|---|
| 23andMe raw data | Yes | Useful coverage across many Mutant models; some markers may be missing |
| AncestryDNA raw data | Yes | Useful coverage across many Mutant models; some markers may be missing |
| Selected WGS formats | Yes | Generally broader coverage and fewer missing markers |
| PDF health reports | No | Reports do not contain the structured genetic data Mutant needs |
| Screenshots | No | Images cannot provide the required genotype dataset |
| Trait summaries | No | Summary results are not equivalent to raw genetic data |
Your DNA source affects coverage, not the type of Mutant analysis you receive.
A raw DNA file is the underlying genetic-data export provided by a DNA testing or sequencing service.
Depending on the source, it may contain information such as:
A simplified consumer-DNA record might look like:
rs123456 1 12345678 AG
This is very different from a health or ancestry report.
A report gives you an interpretation.
Raw genetic data provides the underlying information Mutant needs to perform its own analysis.
Mutant supports compatible 23andMe raw DNA data.
If you previously tested with 23andMe, you may already have the genetic data needed to start a Mutant analysis.
You generally want the provider's raw genetic data export, not:
Mutant can use available 23andMe markers across biological areas such as:
Coverage depends on your 23andMe testing version.
Some genetic markers used by Mutant may not be present.
Mutant also supports compatible AncestryDNA raw genetic data.
As with 23andMe, you need the provider's raw DNA export rather than an ancestry or trait summary.
AncestryDNA can provide useful markers across many Mutant biological models.
However, the exact markers available depend on:
Some Mutant markers may therefore be missing.
That does not make the file unusable.
Mutant analyzes the genetic evidence that is actually available.
Mutant also supports selected whole-genome sequencing formats.
Whole-genome sequencing differs from consumer genotyping because it reads much more broadly across the genome rather than checking only a predefined collection of locations.
For Mutant, the main advantage is:
More of the genetic markers used by Mutant's models are generally available.
This can mean:
WGS does not provide a different Mutant product.
It provides broader genetic coverage for the same Mutant analysis framework.
Mutant does not have a basic consumer-DNA analysis and a separate advanced WGS analysis.
All supported DNA sources use the same framework:
Genetic markers
↓
Genetic module patterns
↓
Converging patterns
↓
Ranked health hypotheses
↓
Supporting evidence + coverage
↓
Health Context
What changes is how much relevant genetic information is available.
Same Mutant analysis
+ useful genetic evidence
+ more potential gaps
Same Mutant analysis
+ broader genetic evidence
+ generally fewer gaps
Consumer DNA services do not test every genetic location Mutant may use.
If a marker is absent from your DNA source, Mutant should not assume that you have:
The result is simply:
Missing genetic data
This distinction matters because a health hypothesis may have excellent coverage from one DNA source and limited coverage from another.
Mutant can track how much of the genetic evidence required by its models was available from your DNA source.
For example, if a particular genetic model uses ten relevant markers and your DNA source contains eight of them, the remaining two are missing.
Coverage helps you understand how complete the available genetic evidence is.
It does not mean:
Mutant analyzed this percentage of your entire genome.
Instead, it means:
This percentage of the genetic markers Mutant wanted for this analysis was available.
More genetic data does not automatically mean more findings.
Suppose consumer DNA provides partial evidence for a health hypothesis.
Broader WGS data could reveal:
The hypothesis becomes more strongly supported.
The hypothesis becomes less compelling.
The interpretation changes very little.
The ranking may change.
The purpose of broader DNA coverage is therefore not to produce a more dramatic analysis.
It is to reduce uncertainty.
Use the original genetic-data export whenever possible.
Your file should ideally:
Avoid manually modifying:
Changing the original genetic data can prevent accurate processing.
Mutant does not need:
These may contain useful information for other purposes, but they are not substitutes for the supported genetic-data source Mutant needs to run its models.
Mutant is designed to minimize how much genetic information leaves your device.
When you add supported DNA data:
Your complete raw DNA is not uploaded or stored by Mutant.
This is especially important for WGS, where the complete source data can contain far more genetic information than Mutant needs.
Mutant does not attempt to interpret every possible genetic variant.
It uses a defined collection of markers incorporated into its current biological models.
That means a WGS file may contain millions of genetic observations while Mutant needs only a subset of them.
Local browser processing allows Mutant to extract the relevant markers without retaining the entire genome.
No.
Whole-genome sequencing provides broad source data.
Mutant evaluates the subset of genetic evidence used by its current models.
WGS support should therefore not be interpreted as:
Mutant provides a defined educational genetic analysis.
Coverage can become especially important for selected inherited-health patterns.
Mutant may evaluate genetic context involving areas such as:
Consumer DNA may contain some relevant variants while missing others.
WGS generally provides broader coverage.
However, even a potentially significant finding identified from WGS should not automatically be treated as a clinical diagnosis.
Depending on the finding, appropriate confirmation may include:
Mutant is not a substitute for diagnostic genetic testing.
Yes.
You do not need to decide on WGS before using Mutant.
A practical sequence is:
If you later obtain supported WGS data, you can use the broader genetic source to regenerate your analysis.
The Mutant framework remains the same.
The available genetic evidence changes.
Not necessarily.
If you already have compatible:
you can start with what you already have.
There is no reason to purchase another DNA test before seeing what coverage your current data provides.
When you are ready:
You do not need to manually identify SNPs or convert the file yourself.
Mutant organizes available genetic evidence into several layers.
Genetics is grouped into related biological areas.
Current systems include:
Related variants are organized into biological modules.
Mutant evaluates whether multiple independent genetic patterns point toward the same biological hypothesis.
The available evidence is integrated into prioritized hypotheses describing genetic susceptibility.
These are health hypotheses, not diagnoses.
You can inspect:
Mutant can also identify the types of real-world information that may:
Health Context may include:

Coverage describes how much of the genetic evidence required by Mutant's models was available from your DNA source.
It does not describe what percentage of your complete genome Mutant interpreted.
Yes.
If you later obtain another supported DNA source, such as WGS, you can use the broader data to regenerate your analysis.
It may.
Additional genetic evidence can:
The underlying Mutant analysis framework remains the same.
No.
WGS generally provides much broader coverage than consumer genotyping, but technical gaps can still exist.
Mutant also interprets only the genetic markers incorporated into its current models.
No.

Mutant Free and Mutant Full determine access to your ranked health hypotheses, not whether your data came from 23andMe, AncestryDNA, or supported WGS.
Mutant Free includes your top 3 ranked health hypotheses in full, including their evidence, contributing patterns, Health Context, coverage, and limitations.
Mutant Full is $49/year and unlocks all ranked health hypotheses available from your analysis.
You do not need the largest DNA file to begin.
If you already have compatible 23andMe or AncestryDNA data, use it.
Mutant will determine:
If broader WGS data becomes useful later, you can use it to reduce coverage gaps.
The important distinction is:
Your DNA source determines coverage.
Mutant determines how the available genetic evidence fits together.
Your top 3 ranked health hypotheses are included in full with Mutant Free.
No credit card required.
Your complete raw DNA stays in your browser.
Mutant provides educational and informational genetic analysis. Its findings are health hypotheses, not diagnoses, and are not a substitute for medical evaluation, clinical genetic testing, or treatment.
