GeneLucent offers a variety of useful and informative tools for organizing and analyzing genetic data files.
Some people are so fascinated by genetic testing that they have purchased services from multiple companies. Currently, GeneLucent software can combine DNA files from FamilyTreeDNA, 23andMe, Ancestry, and Veritas Genetics. These files can be in TXT, CSV, or VCF formats. The combine function organizes and streamlines the data in the files, so that GeneLucent's other functions can perform rapidly.
When GeneLucent software finds discrepancies between the files it is combining, it removes those genetic variants from the combined file, and the user can save the list of discrepancies. This is a useful check for test quality.
GeneLucent offers a variety of useful and informative tools for organizing and analyzing genetic data files.
After the user enters the genetic files, GeneLucent can save a project file to automatically load all the files during future sessions.
Understandably, many people fear to learn about some genetic predispositions and diseases. Therefore, GeneLucent has a customization feature.
Customization allows for removing individual tests, removing individual tests for specific individuals, and removing all sensitive medical tests.
Some traits and diseases have simple genetic causes, involving one or a small number of genetic variants.
GeneLucent software can check for these traits, and provide an explanation without overwhelming medical jargon.
Many traits have significant genetic influence but so many genetic variants influence the trait that scientists can create scores to explain some of the variability.
GeneLucent can compare genetic scores among multiple people, even if those people have used different testing companies.
GeneLucent also has the ability to compare the scores from multiple DNA files to input values for the specific trait. This can provide a visual representation of how useful the scores actually are.
The correlation between genetic scores and trait values allows GeneLucent to predict trait values for some individuals.
For instance, one may predict a child’s adult height, using DNA files from multiple family members.
GeneLucent enables the creation of new genetic tests for complex traits, as defined by the user. In other words, a user can save into a project a test that came from a recently published study.
Genetic files tend to large and difficult to navigate. GeneLucent has a simple tool for search files for specific genetic variants.
