DNAnalyzer is a fiscally sponsored 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN: 81-2908499) revolutionizing DNA analysis by making machine learning-powered genomic insights accessible through efficient on-device computation.
Founded by Piyush Acharya and co-led with @LimesKey, our platform has attracted 45 computational biologists and computer scientists from institutions including Microsoft Research, University of Macedonia, and Northeastern University.
Our impact has been recognized by the organizers of the AI Engineer World's Fair (backed by OpenAI, Microsoft, Google DeepMind, and Anthropic) and the CEO of Forem.
| Current Reality | DNAnalyzer's Mission |
|---|---|
| $100 average cost for DNA sequencing | Free on-device analysis |
| Up to $600 for basic health insights | Accessible to underserved communities |
| 78% of companies share genetic data with third parties | Private, secure analysis that stays on your device |
| Data breaches expose millions (23andMe: 6.9M users in 2023) | No central database of sensitive genetic information |
"Unlike a credit card number or password, stolen or misused genetic information cannot be changed."
|
Identify protein coding regions and analyze the 20 different amino acids in polypeptide chains |
Detect promoter sequences with high GC-content (45-60%) that likely reveal crucial genomic information |
Identify genetic signatures related to neurodevelopmental disorders like autism, ADHD, and schizophrenia |
|
Find key promoter sequences (BRE, TATA, INR, DPE) responsible for initiating transcription |
Process multi-line and single-line FASTA database files through upload or web linking |
Access all core features through our powerful Methionine CLI (Met CLI) for scripting and automation |
Coming Soon: Web-based user interface for enhanced accessibility
DNA: The Programming Language of Life
DNA exists in most cells of the body and contains the blueprint for creating over 200 distinct cell types. Like a programming language exclusive to living organisms, it encodes the instructions for all biological processes.
Databases: The Foundation of Analysis
A DNA database is crucial for interpreting DNA sequences. By leveraging machine learning, we can make predictions on previously unseen DNA sequences, forming the foundation of modern genomic analysis.
