Inherit processes raw DNA files into cited reports, ancestry information, and polygenic scores while letting users inspect, export, delete, or self-host their data.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-30 issue.

Field notes

The service accepts common consumer-genomics text files and VCFs, while BAM and CRAM files are described as stored and hashed. Its reports attach citations, an evidence rating, and a coverage state to each interpretation; the sample names CYP1A2 variant rs762551 and cites two studies. The site also links to an AGPL-3.0 source repository and says users can export their data free and delete it.
