See how a report comes together
Your raw DNA file from 23andMe, Ancestry or MyHeritage holds far more than your ancestry results. This 90 second video follows one example report, made from a sample DNA file rather than a real person's, to show how a Noorns report is built around a short, ranked list of what to focus on, what to avoid and where to start. Your browser reads the file on your own computer, and your DNA file is never uploaded or stored.

Everything said in the video.
A lot of people take a DNA test for the ancestry results, look at the pie chart, and never think about the raw data file again. That file is still sitting in your account, and it holds hundreds of thousands of readings from your genes. Some of them can affect how your body handles everyday nutrients, like folate, vitamin D, caffeine and fat.
But a gene name and a couple of letters don't tell you what to eat for breakfast. A list of genes tells you what you have. Noorns tells you where to start. Each report looks at one area you care about, like energy, weight or sleep. It's built around a short, ranked list of what to focus on, what to avoid, and where your genes pull in different directions.
Foods, nutrients and habits sit higher when more of your genes and more of the research point toward them. In this example, vitamin B2 comes out on top. The higher something sits on your list, the stronger the signal, so your top few are where to look first. Every link between a gene and a nutrient cites its study, so you can check the reasoning yourself.
It's a place to start, and something useful to bring to your doctor. Getting yours is simple. Pick your report and attach your raw data file. Your browser reads it right there on your computer and builds the report in a few minutes. Your DNA file is never uploaded or stored.
