Predict Genome

"PredictGenome democratizes Google's AlphaGenome API. Researchers upload DNA data, get disease predictions in 30 seconds. No coding required"

Comment

🧬 Inspiration

7 million lives are lost annually to diseases we could catch early with genetic screening. The technology exists - Google's AlphaGenome - but it's locked behind technical barriers. Watching researchers in the AlphaGenome community struggle with API setup sparked this idea in me.

💡 What it does

PredictGenome democratizes genomic analysis with a ChatGPT-style interface:

  • Drag & drop VCF files - no coding required
  • Instant analysis using AlphaGenome API (30 seconds)
  • Plain English summaries via AI - anyone can understand
  • Visual risk indicators - red/yellow/green for quick assessment
  • PDF reports - shareable with healthcare providers

🛠️ How i built it

Built entirely with Bolt.new in 48 hours non-stop:

  • React + TypeScript frontend with glassmorphism UI
  • Node.js API routes connecting to AlphaGenome
  • OpenRouter integration for AI summaries (DeepSeek model)
  • Deployed on Netlify with CI/CD

🚧 Challenges i ran into

  • Self Doubt but this MVP for my startup idea has helped me convert that doubt into self belief!
  • AlphaGenome API documentation complexity (exactly what users face!)
  • Simplifying genomic data visualization for non-technical users
  • Creating real-time processing animations
  • Ensuring HIPAA-compliant data handling

🏆 Accomplishments

  • Reduced analysis time from 3 hours to 30 seconds
  • Successfully abstracted complex API into simple drag-drop interface
  • Created fully functional MVP that researchers can use TODAY!
  • Built a scalable architecture ready for millions of users

📚 What i learned

  • Power of Bolt and Claude opus(they are my buddies now :)
  • How to make complex science accessible through design

🚀 What's next for PredictGenome

Improving it as of now, I'm really curious to dive deep into genomic analysis and improve it through feedback: I'm working on next on these:

  • Adding Supabase for user accounts and analysis history
  • Multi-language support for global accessibility
  • Partnership with research institutions
  • Mobile app development

Vision: By 2028, PredictGenome will be saving millions of lives through early detection.
