In this post, we are going deeper into the Dynamic Data project, looking at the 23andMe dynamic data (library available here on GitHub and at NPM). Opening the library, you’ll see there are one type of data files: RawDataObject Learn more about dynamic data generators and the benefits of artificial data in software development. About the data source23andMe is a biotechnology company that provides an Ancestry, Health and Traits service that requires the customer to send their DNA for analysis. 23andMe also provides a paid-for membership which grants ongoing access to enhanced premium features and reports. Ancestry Service:
Approach used23andMe provides a data exporting services that allows the user to download their raw genotype data. A subset of such data was converted into JSON format to create a mockup file. A simple data model of these objects can be seen below. This mockup file makes up the 23andme-data package. The 23andme-mockup package imports the aforementioned file and goes through each attribute of them generating artificial (new) data using proprietary functions, such as those found in the utils package. For example, with the RawDataObject object:

Ideas to combine with some other data sourcesCombine with similar Raw Genetic Data exports, like from Ancestry, to gain a greater scope at genetic data. Look at any discrepancies for further analysis. Combine with photo applications to generate a life-like model of the user, for instance genetic data can help provide data about hair (texture, baldness, etc) but cannot tell your hairstyle Open-source data libraryWe welcome contributions and forks to this data set, and look forward to seeing what developers build in our Liberty.
