THE ANCESTOR'S GENES AND WHAT THEY'RE BECOMING
Know the sequence.
Understand the evidence.
Explore a gene, investigate a single variant, or examine the variant calls from whole-genome sequencing.
01 / REFERENCE EXPLORER
A small change. A better question.
Search a human gene symbol or a SNP's rsID. Reference lookups retrieve public Ensembl records and link to NCBI evidence.
Only the identifier you search is sent to Ensembl. Your file, sample name and genotype are never included in that request. External evidence links open their named provider.
02 / LOCAL VARIANT REVIEW
Look inside your sequencing results.
Open a VCF or gzip/BGZF-compressed VCF produced by a sequencing pipeline. Inspect alleles, sample genotypes, depth and recorded quality. Processing happens in this browser; the file is not uploaded or saved by this tool.
No personal file loaded. The example contains invented genotypes.
What this version can analyze
This is a reference explorer and local variant-call viewer. It does not call variants from FASTQ/BAM/CRAM reads, annotate a whole genome, infer APOE haplotypes, score polygenic risk, assign drug doses, or produce a clinical interpretation. Raw sequencing needs alignment, variant calling, quality control and a validated annotation workflow.
Large files are scanned as a stream. Long allele strings are shortened for display. Up to 200 matching records are shown; the total match count covers the completed scan. Stop interrupts a scan. Refreshing or clearing removes the loaded data from this tool. File-level and sample-level quality fields are displayed as recorded, not certified by Arising.
INTERPRETATION, IN CONTEXT
A variant is a starting point.
Clinical significance depends on the exact allele, condition and supporting evidence. ClinVar records can contain disagreements. Review the condition, review status, date and submitters before drawing conclusions.
Use a clinical laboratory and qualified genetics professional to confirm consequential findings. This tool does not diagnose a condition.
03 / CONNECTED READING
From genes to the bigger picture.
