Writing notebooks that explore genetic data #7

Open Humans hosts genetic data from a variety of sources:

These data are a bit harder to analyse, especially if you don't have a background in biology/bioinformatics. With the exception of uBiome all of these data sources contain genetic variants called SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms). One way to explore these variants would be to use an external API such as http://myvariant.info/ to annotate them with metadata. Metadata could be variant frequencies in different populations, whether variants are coding or not. Alternatively you could try to use databases to predict phenotypic information such as hair or eye colour.

@madprime wrote one that uses 23andMe that has been merged in #15 / #17. And #10 will look into uBiome.
