DEVELOPER NOTES

A Roster of Opus 23 Algorithms

This is a current list of the multi-snp algorithms currently available in Opus 23. A few titles repeat, for the simple reason that two different algorithms, using different snps or genes, can result in a similar conclusion.  Algorithms can be quite complex: it is not uncommon for one algorithm to call another algorithm as part of its execution. Algorithms are discussed in the blog post describing the Opus 23 LUMEN app.
