Through the GENERIS team, Rootstrap partnered with a PhD in Bioinformatics and was able to successfully integrate the DNA imputation software with the technical components of the GENERIS app. As part of the optimization of the back end architecture, a Rootstrap engineer learned R, a statistical programming language to make adjustments to the process flow.
In partnership with the GENERIS Chief Science Partner and PhD in Human Genetics, Rootstrap built a complex algorithm to allow GENERIS to provide a high level food and activity plan, in addition to the individual reports based on genetic markers. This is a differentiator for GENERIS, who believes that taking a consumer driven approach to genetics is key to the mission of the company, which is to help users improve their lives by understanding more about their genes.
