  • How your aerobic capacity responds to training
  • Strength and lean mass
  • Tendon and ligament strain under load COL5A1
  • Where your blood pressure tends to sit
  • and more
Health & longevity
  • Variants studied in people who live past 90
  • Telomere length, a marker of cell aging
  • Protective heart variants
  • Lp(a), the cholesterol particle diet barely moves
  • Background inflammation (CRP)
  • and more
  • Morning lark or night owl
  • How late a coffee can be before it costs you sleep CYP1A2

  • and more
Let your AI explain it

Is it safe to upload raw DNA? The file never leaves your device

Your browser reads the raw file on your own device. We only ever receive the ~600 markers your report needs, well under a megabyte, scoped to your account and deletable in one click.

Parsed locally

The raw file is read in your browser and never uploaded. Only the markers your report needs reach our servers.

One-click deletion

Delete your markers and account in settings. They are erased at once and for good.

The report is yours

The bundle lives on your device. Your AI conversations never pass through us.

Not training data

We never feed your data into model training or sell datasets downstream, anonymized or otherwise.

04Upload sites

The upload that is not an upload

Most DNA upload sites take your whole genome file and keep it on their servers. Helisoma was built the other way around.

06Questions

Questions people ask

Is it free to upload and analyze my raw DNA data?

The health and wellness analysis is free: drop your file and see real findings from your genome, no account needed. Unlocking the full report is a one-time $49 payment. There is no subscription, because the analysis runs once and the report stays yours.

How is my raw DNA data interpreted?

Your browser finds the ~600 markers that have replicated research behind them and orients each genotype to the allele the studies measured, so a result is never read backwards. Each marker is matched against 1,190 curated evidence entries, effect sizes are applied, and markers on the same topic are combined into one plain-language answer, with how big the effect is and a link to every study. It is educational, not a diagnosis.

Where can I upload my raw DNA data?

Several sites accept raw DNA files, among them Helisoma, Promethease, SelfDecode and Genomelink. The big difference is what happens to the file: most upload it and keep it on their servers. Helisoma reads it in your browser, so it never leaves your device. See our comparison of DNA upload sites.

Is it safe to upload my DNA data here?

Your raw file is never uploaded at all. Your browser reads the file on your own device and sends only the small set of markers the report uses, well under a megabyte. We never receive or store the raw file, and you can delete your data at any time. More in how your DNA stays in your browser.

Which raw DNA files can I upload?

Files from 23andMe, AncestryDNA, MyHeritage, FamilyTreeDNA and Genotek all work, in .txt, .csv or .vcf, zipped or gzipped as they come. The parser handles each provider’s format and strand quirks automatically. Not sure what your test actually read? See chip or full sequence.

Can I check my raw DNA file before uploading it?

Yes. Drop it in the free analysis on this page. Your browser reads it on your device and shows which test it came from and how many markers it could read, before anything is sent. A file that will not open gets a plain explanation of why.

How many topics will I get?

The knowledge base covers 128 topics across five areas: 49 in nutrition, 29 in body and fitness, 22 in health and longevity, 18 in brain and mind and 10 in sleep, plus a lab tests page. How many reach your report depends on which markers your test covers.

Can I use my DNA report with ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini?

Yes. ChatGPT and Claude connect live and read your report themselves whenever a question needs it. In Gemini or Whoop Coach you attach the report PDF to a chat and keep asking there.

Do you sell my genetic data?

No. We do not sell personal data, we never possess your raw file in the first place, and deleting your account removes the extracted markers and reports we hold for you.
