Keep your raw files useful over time

Test once. Keep getting guidance.

A sequencing provider hands the file to you. Fern Gene helps that file stay useful afterwards.

By default, raw genome files stay on your own device.

Why this is not just another sequencing report

You are not buying another test. You are making the one you already did stay useful.

WeGene, BGI, and other sequencing providers solve testing and delivery. Fern Gene solves what can keep happening after the raw files come back to you.

Traditional sequencing + one-time report

Most of the value is concentrated in finishing the test and opening the result.

This path is usually strongest at the moment you order, sequence, and read that first report.

  • You buy a sequencing service and a one-time result page
  • The value often fades after that first report
  • Long-term raw-file usefulness is often not the main selling point

Fern Gene

The value is in making the same raw file stay useful afterwards.

Fern Gene does not repeat sequencing. It helps you keep using the results you already paid for.

  • See the most important prompt first after import
  • Open detail only when you want the why
  • Run partner review when marriage or pregnancy planning makes it relevant

When Fern Gene matters more

When you do not want the value to end with a static report.

This layer matters more once you already tested, or when raw-file ownership matters before you buy.

  • You already have files from WeGene, BGI, 23andMe, or another provider
  • You want one test to keep gaining interpretation over time
  • You care about raw-file ownership, local privacy, and long-term use

If you only want a single test and a single report, Fern Gene is not the point. If you want raw files to stay useful for years, this is where Fern Gene starts to matter.

Who feels the value fastest

These groups usually feel useful fastest.

If you fit one of these situations, you are more likely to see the difference from a one-time report quickly.

Already tested

You already tested with WeGene, BGI, 23andMe, or another provider

These users usually understand Fern Gene fastest, because the question is no longer whether to test again. It is how to keep the raw file useful afterwards.

See how to start with existing data

Marriage / pregnancy planning

You are making marriage, pregnancy, or family-history decisions

These users care more about carrier review, joint review, and what deserves follow-up than about a static report they read once.

See what partner review means

Long-term health management

You care more about medication, lab follow-up, and family risk over time

This group usually feels the value through medication differences, lab follow-up, and long-term risk that stays visible over time.

Advisors and high-trust relationships

You work in insurance, family advisory, or long-cycle health relationships

This path is better for explaining why raw files are worth keeping and how later import and long-term follow-up fit together.

See the advisor page

What already exists now

See the hard numbers before deciding whether this is worth starting.

You should not have to guess what already works. These numbers show the areas, rules, content, and evidence already running today.

Live areas

17

Result themes you can already see today

The first places you usually feel value are medication, risk, hereditary disease, WGS specialty review, and nutrition.

Live rules

1,185

Interpretation rules already running behind the product

This is not a handful of isolated prompts. It is a rule layer that keeps updating over time.

Result points

1,116

Result points already shipped into the product

It means import does not land you on an empty screen. There is already a large amount of result content ready to view.

Evidence sources

10

Checked evidence sources already inside the product

What you see is not stitched together from random pages. It starts from evidence sources that have already been checked.

What is a SNP?

A SNP is a common single-letter difference in the genome.

A single SNP is not your destiny. But many SNPs together can help explain medication response, health risk, metabolism, and longer-term body differences.

Fern Gene is not about overdramatizing one marker. It is about turning many evidence-backed differences into results you can actually keep using.

Start here

Do you already have data, or do you still need sequencing?

Pick the right starting path and the next step becomes much easier.

I already have data

Start directly from the raw files you already own

Best for people who already got raw files from 23andMe, WeGene, BGI, or another provider.

You can start now with

  • txt / VCF / gVCF / .genomesprofile
  • iPhone first, Android already validated on a real device
  • Heavier BAM / CRAM flows are better on desktop
  1. 1Import the files you already have
  2. 2Build an encrypted local profile on your device
  3. 3Start seeing prompts, detail views, and partner-review entry points

I do not have data yet

Start with a lab that will hand over raw files

If this is your first test, first make sure you will actually be able to keep the raw files afterwards.

Fern Gene does not run sequencing. We help you keep using the files after you receive them.

  1. 1Check whether the lab delivers standard raw files
  2. 2Keep files like VCF, gVCF, or CRAM for future use
  3. 3Come back to Fern Gene after delivery

Current coverage

What you can already see today.

There are already 17 result areas live today. The first ones people usually feel are medication, health risk, hereditary disease, WGS specialty review, and nutrition, with labs, food, training, and more careful reading after that.

Further reading · Growing, but shown more carefully

These areas show up first as supplementary reading.

These areas do not lead the homepage. They show up first through detail views and supplementary reading.

Ancestry

Research context

Better treated as background and population context than as a health promise.

9 rules

Infection resistance

Read carefully

Better surfaced in careful detail views than as direct homepage prompts.

12 rules

Exposure risk

Read carefully

Better handled as supplementary reading instead of as a default health judgment.

26 rules

Psychology

Research reading

Better kept in supplementary reading for now than treated like a homepage conclusion.

26 rules

Research projects

Research reading

Better treated as research leads and supplementary reading than as homepage guidance.

10 rules

Where your results come from

The results you see start with evidence that has already been checked.

Fern Gene does not turn the latest page it finds into a result. What you see starts with clinical and public evidence that has already been checked.

  • ClinGen, ClinVar, and GeneReviews for hereditary disease and clinical boundaries
  • Pharmacogenomics evidence for medication-response and dosage differences
  • GWAS Catalog, PubMed, and Europe PMC for risk, nutrition, lifestyle, and lab follow-up

How new research is handled

Research keeps growing, but it does not automatically turn into homepage conclusions.

SNPedia and public literature still surface new leads. Those leads are examined first and checked carefully before they move any further.

  • Ancestry, psychology, and research projects are better treated as supplementary reading for now
  • Infection resistance and exposure risk are handled more carefully inside detail views
  • Work that is still being checked does not turn into homepage prompts

Research in progress

Alongside the live product, we are still pushing genomics, RNA, and protein research forward.

What you see in the product still starts with checked genomics interpretation. At the same time, we are continuing AI-driven work across genomics, RNA, and protein research.

New research leads

Genomics research

Genomics research is already running on real samples.

We are already using real samples, public literature, and a local SNPedia mirror to surface new directions worth following up.

  • Real samples already produce strict hits and new leads
  • Those leads do not quietly become user-facing results
  • They have to be checked before they move any further

RNA research

RNA work is still moving forward.

This work is closer to gene expression and regulation, and to why the same DNA can still play out differently. It is still research, not a finished consumer result.

  • It is still a research direction, not something you see by default
  • It helps surface new explanations before anything is released more widely
  • It will need clearer boundaries and stronger evidence before wider release

Protein research

Protein work is also moving forward.

This lane is closer to functional impact, protein-level interpretation, and AI-assisted discovery of new directions. It is still research for now.

  • It is still an active research direction
  • It does not show up as a homepage prompt by default
  • It has to mature through more research before it moves forward

This section shows research that is still underway. It does not mean those outputs already appear as homepage conclusions. What you see today still starts with checked genomics interpretation.

What you see after import

See the result first. Go deeper only when you want to.

Fern Gene does not start by dumping a long report on you. It puts the most useful thing first.

Radar homepage on an Android device

Homepage prompts on a real Android device

Weekly guidance

See the most important prompt first.

The homepage starts with a small number of things worth looking at now instead of forcing everything onto the screen at once.

  • Often about sleep, nutrition, or medication response
  • Results keep updating as the rule layer evolves
  • Readable in both English and Chinese
Evidence Room detail on an Android device

Expanded detail view

Evidence Room detail

Open detail only when you want the why.

Every result can open into explanation, next steps, and evidence context without forcing you to read a long report first.

  • Summary first, reasoning second
  • More private views stay unlock-gated
  • Written to stay short, clear, and easy to read
Partner review view on an Android device

Partner review entry point

Partner review

Bring your partner in when the decision is real.

If you are planning for marriage or pregnancy, you can run a joint review without exchanging raw genome files.

  • Focused on shared risk, not social gimmicks
  • No raw-file exchange required
  • Built for real relationship decisions

How privacy works

Less imagination. Clearer boundaries.

Raw files stay on your own device by default

The default path is local import and local analysis, not handing your raw genome files to another cloud database first.

The long-lived object is a compact encrypted profile

The system prefers encrypted compact profiles and local runtime state instead of keeping heavier, higher-risk raw files around by default.

Online services only use minimal status information

Partner referral, support diagnostics, and future entitlement sync work on minimal status information instead of raw VCF, gVCF, BAM, or CRAM files.

Where to start today

The platforms move at different speeds, but where to start is already clear.

iPhone

The main commercial path for phase 1 and the target for the most complete consumer experience.

Android

Already validated on a real device for onboarding, import, results, Vault, partner review, and policy screens.

macOS

Better suited to heavier files and companion desktop workflows than to being the main consumer entry point.

Windows

The Windows client is now in release preparation and will follow the same desktop-companion role as macOS for heavier workflows.

Frequently asked

Start with the questions people ask most.

Can I use data I already got from 23andMe, WeGene, BGI, or another provider?

Yes. If you can download and keep a raw file, Fern Gene is not asking you to test again. It is the layer that keeps that file useful afterwards.

Will Fern Gene take my raw genome files?

Not by default. The core path is local import and local analysis.

Why not just use the report from WeGene or BGI?

Because their main job is testing and report delivery. Fern Gene is about what you can still see after the raw file is back in your hands. The two paths stack instead of replacing each other.

Why should I look at labs first if I have not tested yet?

Because the first important decision is whether you will really receive standard raw files afterwards.

What is partner review?

It lets two people run a joint review without exchanging raw genome files, which makes it practical for marriage and pregnancy planning.

Which platforms are supported now?

Today, the easiest place to start is iPhone or Android. macOS and Windows are better suited to desktop import and heavier files.
