Analyzing raw DNA data with Astra into an interactive body atlas
The author used GPT-6 Astra at high reasoning effort to parse raw data from an old DNA test covering about 660,000 variants, then built a locally run interactive body atlas in 40 minutes with 25 markers and explicit uncertainty notes.
Overnight, I used GPT-6 Astra (high reasoning effort) to analyze raw data from my old DNA test, performed on an Illumina chip covering ~660,000 genetic variants. Then, in 40 minutes, I built an interactive body atlas to explore selected associations involving taste, eye pigmentation, lactose digestion, muscle proteins, and metabolism. The app brings together 25 selected markers from my file, with recorded genotypes, supporting evidence, and explicit uncertainty. DNA imports are processed locally in the browser. My most personal data project with Astra. 🧬 Next, I plan to get fresh tests from several labs, compare the results, and learn more about my biology using Frontier AI. @DeryaTR_ @gdb @thekaransinghal
