Welcome to the ParseSNP wiki!

ParseSNP is a standalone genetic research tool that works with RAW DNA data from various consumer genetic sequencing resources such as AncestryDNA and You2Me. ParseSNP enables you to load the entire RAW data file into memory and search it for individual RSIDs, which you can choose to add to a project file.

A more powerful feature is that ParseSNP allows you to create a 'Pathogenics' file of genetic risk factors obtained from medical publications. Pathogen


At the bottom of the windows will be an estimated Statistical risk number and the MD5 Hash of the PPI file so you know it matches the original file. listbottom

There is functionality to build a Pathogenics (.PPI) file. Though if you find it easier, you can edit the saved draft version in your favourite text editor! Patho


From a programming point of view, I have tried to avoid dedicated Microsoft APIs and make the code as portable as possible. This makes the interface a lot more basic, and the code has some stability issues around window redrawing. For the most part, it works as intended, and I hope to add more functionality and stability though my time is spread a little thin.

If you have a genetic file format you would like ParseSNP to support, please let me know and I will do my best to add support. If you create a .PPI you would like to share, send it to me and I will include it.
