When your pipeline job has finished we'll send you an email.

Once you've received the email, you can view your job and select :

caution
  • If your job has failed (status: "Error") you won't be able to download any results

Why have my results disappeared?​

Results are only stored on your GeneticScores.org account for about 2 weeks after a job finishes.

After this any results are automatically deleted to help keep your data safe.

Download files​

Three results files are available:

  • A HTML report that you can open in a web browser
  • A variant matching log, in gzip compressed CSV format
  • Aggregated polygenic scores, in gzip compressed text format

If you double click the report it should open in your web browser.

tip
  • On macOS you may get Error 79 when trying to open the compressed CSV file
  • You can use a program like The Unarchiver to open the file

Scoring file metadata​

tip

Please remember to cite polygenic score authors and check the license of scores if you reuse them.

Variant matching details​

tip

It's important that input target genomes match the scoring files well. This section describes how well your data overlap.

Score distribution​

tip

This density plot is a useful summary of the calculated scores.

Dude, where's my scores?

Calculated scores are stored in the compressed CSV file, not the HTML report
