MyGeneLog™ is a free, open genetic reference that helps people understand what research says about genetic variants and their possible connections to health, medicines, and everyday traits. Its website presents more than 64,000 well-studied variants in plain language, with claims linked to their sources. Visitors can explore conditions, drug responses, smell and taste, and topics such as sleep, running, and alcohol. The reference also includes a gene knowledge graph that connects variants, conditions, drugs, and related subjects, distinguishing curated evidence from literature-based co-mentions.

MyGeneLog™ also offers a free desktop reader for Windows. Users can open raw VCF files or data exports from 23andMe and AncestryDNA; the program parses files in memory on the user’s computer and does not upload genome data. Findings are explained in accessible language and link to detailed reference pages. The site and reference are free to read and reuse under CC BY 4.0, with no account required. Optional paid offerings include dated, citable dataset snapshots and a higher API rate limit.
