Whole Genome Sequencing
My genome,
researched.
44 genes studied. Hundreds of studies read. Scholar alerts running continuously. This is what my DNA actually means — built from primary literature, not a report.
Why this exists
Most people get a genetics report. I got the raw data and started reading the literature myself.
This site is the output of that process — every gene I've researched, every study excerpt I found meaningful, every Scholar alert that arrives about a variant I carry. It's not medical advice — a quick way to find research I have already collated, should any of it be relevant to you.
Research Areas
Dopaminergic and noradrenergic pathways — DRD4, DAT1, COMT, MAOA, and related neurotransmitter genes. Linked to my ADHD research on Substack.
Serotonin, aggression, and empathy-linked variants — MAOA, HTR2A, OXTR, AVP, and related genes explored in my Hereditary research.
Drug metabolism — CYP2D6, CYP2C19, CYP1A2, DPYD, and related enzymes affecting how medications behave in my body.
How this works
Whole genome sequenced
30× whole genome sequencing — every base pair, not just an SNP array. Millions of variants across all chromosomes.
Studies curated per gene
Each gene page has hand-picked excerpts from primary literature — in italics, with author and DOI. Sometimes dozens per gene, all read before being added.
Scholar alerts, live
Google Scholar alerts for every gene route here automatically. New papers land as unread alerts on the relevant gene page.
Population context
Every variant compared against Caucasian population frequencies from NCBI — so rarity and significance are always in frame.
