What is Genetiqo and how does the 3D DNA visualization work?

Genetiqo is an interactive 3D DNA visualization and genetics education platform. Our 3D viewer uses WebGL technology to render realistic DNA double helix structures in your browser. You can rotate, zoom, and explore DNA molecules in real-time, seeing how base pairs (Adenine-Thymine and Guanine-Cytosine) connect to form the famous double helix structure. The visualization helps students, educators, and curious minds understand molecular genetics in an engaging, hands-on way.

What can I learn about genetics using Genetiqo?

Genetiqo helps you understand fundamental genetics concepts including: DNA structure and the double helix, base pairing rules (A-T, G-C), how genetic information is stored and read, the relationship between genes and traits (heredity), basic molecular biology principles, and how mutations can affect genetic sequences. Our educational content is designed for students from high school through university level, as well as lifelong learners interested in genetics.

Is Genetiqo free to use for educational purposes?

Yes, Genetiqo offers free access to our core 3D DNA visualization tools and educational content. Students, teachers, and educational institutions can use our platform at no cost for learning and teaching genetics. We believe that understanding our genetic heritage should be accessible to everyone.

How does Genetiqo protect my genetic data and privacy?

Genetiqo is built with a privacy-first architecture. We use local-first processing, meaning your genetic data stays on your device and is never uploaded to our servers without explicit consent. All visualizations are rendered locally in your browser. We employ encryption for any data that does need to be transmitted, and we never sell or share personal genetic information with third parties.

What makes 3D DNA visualization better than static images?

3D visualization provides an immersive, interactive learning experience that static images cannot match. With Genetiqo's 3D viewer, you can: rotate the DNA molecule to see it from any angle, zoom in to examine individual base pairs, watch animated demonstrations of DNA processes, interact with the structure to reinforce learning, and develop spatial understanding of molecular biology. Research shows that interactive 3D learning significantly improves comprehension and retention compared to 2D resources.

Can I use Genetiqo for my biology class or research presentation?

Absolutely! Genetiqo is designed for educational use. Teachers can use our 3D visualizations in classroom presentations, students can explore DNA structure for science projects, and researchers can create compelling visuals for papers and presentations. Our platform supports screenshots and exports to help you include 3D DNA imagery in your educational materials.

What devices and browsers support Genetiqo's 3D DNA viewer?

Genetiqo's 3D DNA viewer works on any modern web browser that supports WebGL, including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. It works on desktop computers, laptops, tablets, and smartphones. For the best experience, we recommend using a device with a dedicated graphics card and a screen size of at least 10 inches, though our responsive design ensures usability on all screen sizes.

How accurate are Genetiqo's DNA visualizations for scientific study?

Our 3D DNA models are scientifically accurate representations based on established molecular biology research. The double helix structure follows the Watson-Crick model with correct base pair dimensions, major and minor groove proportions, and proper helical twist. While simplified for educational clarity, our visualizations maintain scientific accuracy suitable for high school, undergraduate, and general science education.

Privacy-first • Local processing • Your data stays yours

Understand your genetics, with clarity.

Genetiqo transforms complex genetic data into clear, explainable insights — processed locally, encrypted by you, with every interpretation sourced and caveated.

Educational tool only. Not medical advice. Not a diagnostic device.

Get early access

Join the waitlist to shape the product, get alpha invites, and receive progress drops.

Local-first

Process data on-device where possible.

Explainable

Clear sources, steps, and limits.

Composable

APIs + pipelines you can build on.

Built for trust and understanding

Privacy by Design

Your genetic file never leaves your browser. Encryption happens locally with your passphrase.

Explainable Outputs

Every insight shows its sources, limitations, and the uncertainty inherent in genetic associations.

Science-Backed

Interpretations based on peer-reviewed research. We tell you what we know — and what we don't.

Vision

Genetiqo becomes the interface layer between genetic data and human-level understanding: raw files → annotation → interpretation → shareable, auditable outputs.

Your genome, yours

A vault mindset: minimize collection, maximize control, encrypt at rest, and make sharing explicit and reversible.

Built for clarity

Every insight links back to steps, sources, and uncertainty — so users can trust what they see.

A platform, not a report

Workflows, exports, and APIs that enable products, labs, and researchers — without lock-in.

Roadmap

Phase 0 — Now (live)

shipping

• Landing + waitlist
• Vault MVP (local encryption)
• Playground demo (simulated data)

Phase 1 — Consumer MVP

• Local-first vault with explainable cards
• Import helpers for common raw formats
• Shareable 'explain cards' (export)

Phase 2 — Beta

• Encrypted vault + workspaces
• Permissioned sharing + revocation
• Pipeline builder (plug-in modules)

Phase 3 — Platform

• APIs for labs/apps
• On-device + server compute options
• Consent + governance tooling

Phase 4 — Ecosystem

• Standards-based exports + interoperability
• Consent-driven research network (opt-in)
• Privacy-preserving compute for cohorts

Your data, protected

AES-256 Encryption

Zero Server Storage

No Tracking

Your Passphrase Only

Genetiqo follows a 'minimum data' principle. We cannot see your genetic data.

Privacy & ethics

Genetics is sensitive. Genetiqo is built with a 'minimum data' principle and a bias-aware, anti-discrimination stance. The goal is to help people understand information — not to enable harm.

• Default to local-first processing
• Make sharing explicit, permissioned, and revocable
• Provide sources, uncertainty, and limitations
• Avoid deterministic claims about individuals or groups

Frequently asked questions

Is Genetiqo a medical device?

No. Genetiqo is an educational tool for exploring genetic data. It does not diagnose, treat, or prevent any condition. Always consult healthcare professionals for medical decisions.

What file formats do you support?

We support raw data exports from 23andMe, AncestryDNA, MyHeritage, FamilyTreeDNA, and similar direct-to-consumer genetic testing services. Both text and ZIP formats are accepted.

Can you see my genetic data?

No. Your file is processed entirely in your browser and encrypted with a passphrase only you know. We never have access to your raw genetic data unless you explicitly create a cloud backup.

How accurate are the interpretations?

Genetic associations are probabilistic, not deterministic. We cite peer-reviewed sources and explain limitations for every card. Many traits are influenced by hundreds of genes and environmental factors.
