Yes you are right, this is a consumer focused implementation.

For one thing we wanted something to show at the Consumer Genetics Conference that I'm attending this week.

Beyond that, I expect that this platform could be easily adapted to other kinds of genomic analysis - for instance a medically oriented Cancer/Normal genome comparison tool.

My feeling is that no one knows exactly how the genome future will pan out over the next few years and we hope to be nimble enough to capitalize on a number of directions it could take.

Yep the website needs work, it's just something I threw together before I head off to the Consumer Genetics Conference this week. I will add more explanation on the target audience - (which is really more of sequencing and healthcare companies right now)

The data in the program now is not actually a whole genome, it's more of a gene ("exome" if you will) viewer now, but we will be adding whole genome browsing soon. We've been thinking about a 23andMe import tool but haven't built that yet.

Would be interested in how the program runs for you

Thanks!

Thanks for your feedback. I'm less concerned right now about the website itself - it's just a placeholder. Did you happen to download the software? Did it work as expected?

But you are right I should explain it better. This is meant to be a software solution for companies that want to offer genome data to customers. Having a standalone application as a presentation option can allay many of the privacy implications of a web app.

With that said, I do want to develop a web app too, and be a "one stop shop" for the presentation and analysis of human genomic data.

Thanks again,
