DNA challenges

Fun, scientifically responsible challenges against your own raw data file — all run locally in the browser. Genetics suggests; it does not decide. Challenge a friend to check their own file!

Pick a challenge

  • The coffee DNA test — 6 questions about your caffeine habits give your coffee type; share it and challenge a friend. No file needed.
  • The coffee DNA challenge — are you a fast or slow caffeine metabolizer? CYP1A2, rs762551.
  • The bitter taste challenge — can you taste PTC bitterness? TAS2R38, rs713598.
  • Night owl or early bird? — what does your chronotype genetics suggest? CLOCK, rs1801260.

How the challenges work

  • You need your raw data file (23andMe, MyHeritage, AncestryDNA or FTDNA) — download it here.
  • Check the marker for free via the rsID lookup or analyze the whole file locally in the app.
  • Everything is educational: associations in research data, not medical statements.

DNA analysis runs locally in your browser — your raw DNA file is not uploaded. DNA Chat is optional and off by default; genetic information is sent only after your explicit consent and may then be processed outside the EU/EEA. More about DNA Chat and privacy.
