Thanks. It's definitely a lot of fun. And, as you can see, some things are not hard at all to detect. In fact, I was surprised how little knowledge you need to be able to flick through genome wide association studies (GWAS) and casually play around with their findings. (It's also fun to see how desperately some GWAS studies seem to try to make sense of the genome --- it's a pretty young field, I guess!)

Of course, you should be pretty careful with interpreting results as a hobbyist (as I am). But probing your genome with a parser, like the one I've made, is a great vehicle for piquing your intellectual curiosity.
