Open-source consumer genomics

Your genome, on your terms.

Inherit helps you buy DNA sequencing from an independent lab. You can turn your raw DNA file into reports and ancestry results. You can also see polygenic scores, which combine many small genetic effects. You can inspect, audit, or run the system yourself.

Inherit itself is free — you only ever pay a sequencing provider, directly. Already have a DNA file? Everything here costs nothing.

How it works

  1. 01

    Find a provider

    Compare labs that ship to you. See depth, price, timing, and which raw files you get. You pay each lab directly. A clearly marked affiliate link may earn Inherit a commission without changing your price.

  2. 02

    Upload your raw data

    Upload 23andMe, AncestryDNA, MyHeritage or FamilyTreeDNA text files, or VCF/gVCF files. Choose which reports to generate after your file is prepared. BAM, CRAM and FASTQ files are not accepted. Uploads go straight from your browser to private storage.

  3. 03

    Read what your file actually supports

    Reports state their evidence, cite their sources, and say plainly when your file doesn't cover a variant. Coverage is a number here, never a slogan.

  4. 04

    Ask, explore, export, delete

    Search variants, browse your genome, chat with an AI that cites your own reports — locally if you prefer. Export everything free, forever. Deletion actually deletes.

Plain terms

What we won't do.

  • No diagnosis. Inherit is informational, not a medical device.
  • No sequencing sales. We route you to labs, which you pay directly.
  • No trackers. Zero ad pixels or third-party analytics, verified by an automated network audit in CI.
  • No data sharing with anyone — including Plus Bio. Separate service, separate accounts, no data flow.

Plus Bio created and funds this public-good project. The core software is free. Some marked provider links may earn a commission, but Inherit does not sell DNA tests or your data.

Informational, not medical advice. Every report carries its citations and an honest coverage state for your file.
