// A NEW HOME FOR YOUR GENOME

Your genome, now all yours to explore.

You already own the most personal data there is. Premno connects it to the people advancing human genetics — so a 23andMe export or a whole-genome file becomes an evolving story about your health, ancestry, and traits.

  1. Sign in on a computer, open your profile menu, then choose Resources and Browse Raw Genotyping Data.
  2. Select Download, verify your date of birth, accept the notice and submit the request.
  3. When the email arrives, download the ZIP and extract the TXT file before selecting it in Premno.
Good to know23andMe says preparation usually takes about a week and can take up to 30 days.

Compatibility is not an endorsement. After downloading your files, review the provider's retention and deletion controls. Premno reads the copy stored on your device.

THE PROBLEM

Your genome is stuck with the company that sequenced it.

Millions of people have sequenced their DNA. But the analysis you got was a one-time product — frozen the day you bought it, while the science kept moving.

01

A one-time snapshot

Providers analyse your data once, at the point of sale. After that they have little reason to keep your report current.

02

Locked to one vendor

Insights live inside their portal, in their format, on their terms — even though the genome is unmistakably yours.

03

Research races ahead

New genes, risk models and drug-response findings ship every week in labs and repos — and almost none of it reaches you.

HOW IT WORKS

From raw files to real answers, in three steps.

01

Bring your genome

Drop in a 23andMe export or whole-genome files — FASTQ, BAM or VCF. They stay on your own disk, always.

02

Pick a package

Choose an analysis from your installed packages or the marketplace. Each one is a self-contained, documented pipeline.

03

Get insights

Premno runs it in an isolated container and hands back a plain-language report you can actually read — plus the raw outputs.

STARTING FROM SCRATCH

No genome file yet? Start here.

If the budget allows, choose 30× paired-end whole-genome sequencing. It gives you the strongest reusable foundation. The lower-cost options still have a place—here is exactly what each one buys you.

ENTRY
$50–$120typical price

Markers only

A DNA array checks a fixed list of known positions. It is inexpensive and the files are small, but anything outside that list remains invisible.

WHAT IT UNLOCKS
  • Common traits and known markers
  • Some ancestry and polygenic signals
  • A small TXT or CSV export

Useful if you already have one. We would not buy it solely for Premno.

BALANCED
$200–$300typical price

Low-coverage WGS · 1–5×

Paired-end reads sample the whole genome at low depth. It offers broader common-variant coverage than a marker array, especially after imputation.

WHAT IT UNLOCKS
  • Genome-wide common variants
  • Ancestry and polygenic scores
  • Paired FASTQ and often an imputed VCF

Good breadth for the price, but not dependable for individual rare variants.

BEFORE YOU ORDER

Keep the files, not just the report.

Confirm these details in writing. They determine whether you can keep learning from the same sample as the science changes.

  • Paired-end reads, ideally 2 × 150 bp
  • The promised average coverage in writing
  • FASTQ plus VCF or gVCF downloads
  • No subscription required to retrieve files
  • Deletion covers working files and the physical sample

Prices are indicative before shipping and taxes and may change. For research and informational use only. If you are investigating a medical concern, choose testing with a qualified clinician or genetic counsellor.

THE ASSISTANT

Just ask. In plain English.

No command line, no jargon. Ask about your genome the way you'd text a friend who happens to be a geneticist — Premno runs the right analysis on your own machine and explains what it finds, in words that actually mean something.

premno — assistanton your Mac
Ask me anything about your genome. People usually start with something like:
why alcohol hits me hardam I a morning personcilantro = soap?
Why do I turn bright red after just one drink?
Reading your Traits report…
That's the ALDH2*2 variant — the classic "alcohol flush." Your body clears alcohol's by-products slowly, so even one drink can bring on the redness and a faster buzz. Plenty of people share it — it's just good to know your limits.
Ha, that explains a lot. Am I a morning person or a night owl?
Early bird, mostly. Your variants near PER3 and the CLOCK gene point to a morning-lark chronotype — you'll likely feel sharpest before noon and fade earlier at night.
Does cilantro taste like soap to me? My partner swears it does to her.
Checking your Traits report…
Good news for taco night — you don't carry the OR6A2 "soapy cilantro" variant, so it should taste fresh and herby to you. Your partner very likely does carry it.
Okay, this is fun. What should I actually take seriously?
Love the curiosity. The fun traits are just the doorway — the reports really worth your time are your Health overview and Pharmacogenomics (how you respond to everyday medications). Want me to run those next?

PRIVACY BY DESIGN

Your genome never leaves your device.

This is the most personal data you'll ever have. Premno is a desktop app precisely so your genome can stay exactly where it belongs — with you.

Local processing

Pipelines run in isolated containers on your own machine — not our servers.

No biodata stored

We never upload or keep your genetic data. There is nothing of yours on our side to leak.

You own your files

Import, export or delete anything at any time. Your data, your rules, always.

Inspectable

Every package is a transparent, versioned container you're free to audit.

FOR RESEARCHERS

Built a pipeline? Put it in front of the people who want it.

Your work shouldn't be stuck in a repo and a paper. Package your container in the Researcher Portal, add the docs, and reach real people with real genomes — for free or for a fee.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

What files do I need?

A raw-data export from a service like 23andMe or AncestryDNA works, and so do whole-genome files (FASTQ, BAM or VCF) from any sequencing provider. Each package lists exactly what it accepts.

Is my genetic data safe?

Yes. Premno runs on your computer and analyses your files locally, inside isolated containers. We never upload or store your genetic data — it never leaves your device.

Do I need to be technical?

Not at all. The Assistant guides you in plain language — pick what you want and it runs the pipeline for you. If you are technical, the Expert workspace gives you full control over files, runs and logs.

What does it cost?

The app and a set of core packages are free. Some specialist packages from researchers are paid, priced by their authors — you'll always see the price before you install.

Which platforms are supported?

Premno is a desktop app for macOS and Windows. A cloud version may come later, but the local-first app is the heart of the product.

Are results medical advice?

No. Premno is for research and informational purposes and is not a diagnostic tool. Always talk to a qualified clinician or genetic counsellor before acting on anything you learn here.
