Decoding-Us Navigator — v0.1.0-alpha.8 (prerelease)
This alpha focuses on the Simple ("My DNA") experience and broadens ancestry support, driven by macOS alpha-tester feedback.
New
- Ancestry now works on GRCh37 and GRCh38 alignments, not just CHM13/T2T. A b37/b38 WGS is genotyped at that build's panel loci and re-keyed to the canonical CHM13 coordinate space (the reference panel already ships every build's coordinates from an offline allele-aware liftover — no runtime liftover needed). Verified at 100% dosage concordance against the same person's CHM13 alignment.
- One-click "Analyze my DNA" in Simple mode. The not-yet-analyzed view now shows a clear Analyze button (previously the only path was a buried "See the data" link into Advanced mode). It runs the full pipeline — coverage, paternal/maternal haplogroups, and ancestry — in a single step.
Fixed
- Analyze button reliability. The button is now tied directly to the "sequencing depth not yet measured" state, so it appears consistently after import, and after Add Data / delete-and-reimport cycles.
- Import no longer silently drops data. Importing a file was deduped globally and could produce an empty subject with a misleading "imported" message; dedup is now per-subject. Deleting/clearing a subject no longer leaves orphaned sequence-file records that blocked re-importing the same file.
- "Your test" card no longer surfaces a Y-only test when broader whole-genome data exists — the representative test is chosen by breadth, then depth.
- Infinite "Building your brief…" spinner after deleting the last subject.
- UI scale slider (macOS/HiDPI): opening Settings no longer snaps the scale to a bound, and the slider now moves smoothly across its full range instead of jumping to 0.8 / 2.5.
From alpha.7 (also included)
- Missing BAM/CRAM coordinate indexes (
.bai/.crai) are built automatically, with visible progress, before any region-query analysis. - Startup check for a newer installer, with a dismissible notification (Download / Skip this version / Later). Never auto-updates.
- Reference genomes for GRCh38/GRCh37 now download as compressed analysis sets (~875 MB vs ~3.2 GB), with the download surfaced in the status bar and Simple view.
Prerelease build. Installers below: macOS .dmg (universal), Windows -setup.exe, Linux .AppImage / .deb. Verify against SHA256SUMS.
