Compare Indian and global genomic evidence

Enter a gene symbol, a variant, or an rsID. BharatGenome queries each configured population provider, compares what they return, and reports how far the result can be trusted.

Accepts a gene symbol (MTHFR), a variant (chr1-11796321-G-A), or an rsID (rs1801133).

Example inputs

Public identifiers shown as accepted input formats only. They are not results, not cached data, and carry no frequencies of their own.

No result yet — and none will be invented

A result appears only when a configured genomic provider answers a query. No provider is connected to this deployment by default, so BharatGenome reports absence rather than producing a number. What follows is the structure a real result will have, annotated block by block — not data.

Anatomy of a result

Seven blocks, always in this order. Each one is either filled by a provider or explicitly marked unavailable.

Preview of structure — contains no data
  1. 01

    Identity

    What the query resolved to: gene, rsID, chromosome position, reference and alternate alleles, assembly. Unresolvable queries say so instead of guessing coordinates.

  2. 02

    Population context

    Which populations the figures describe, and which are absent. Availability of Indian and global evidence is stated separately before anything is compared.

  3. 03

    Indian vs global evidence

    Each provider's own allele frequencies, sample size, and dataset version, side by side. One side missing means one side is shown as missing.

  4. 04

    Frequency difference

    Per-allele absolute difference, fold change, and direction — computed only when both sides supplied a value. Never imputed from one population.

  5. 05

    Research interpretation

    A plain-language reading with an explicit confidence level and the rationale behind it. Observations and caveats are labelled separately.

  6. 06

    Literature

    Papers returned by a configured literature provider, with identifiers and the population context they matched on. Citations are never generated.

  7. 07

    Provenance & limits

    Every source consulted, whether it was configured, whether it answered, and what the result cannot tell you. Timestamped at request time.

How to read block 03

Illustrative example — not real data

Made-up numbers, used only to explain how the comparison reads.

Global reference population

example

  • A80%
  • G20%

Indian population

example

  • A60%
  • G40%

Reading it: at one position in the DNA, some people carry an A and some carry a G. The bar shows how common each letter is in that group of people.

Why it matters: here the G version is twice as common in the Indian group (40%) as the global reference suggests (20%). A study, risk score, or filter tuned to the global number would treat G as rarer than it actually is in that population.
