For the last decade, Dr. Ben Lynch and his research team have been in the lab developing the StrateGene® Report.
The StrateGene® Report is a detailed analysis of your DNA. This report is your guide to optimal genetic health. Your purchase of the StrateGene® Report includes the 100+ page detailed genetic report along with private access to the StrateGene® Education Portal. This online library of digital educational resources is designed by Dr. Lynch to help you interpret your DNA results.
The StrateGene® Report is a genetic reporting tool. It requires that you have taken one of three DNA tests: Ancestry or 23AndMe. Simply upload your raw data from one of these raw data sources, and your StrateGene® Report will be generated within minutes.
Please note: 23andMe and AncestryDNA provide only a portion of the raw data SNPs that are analyzed in the StrateGene® Report. This means your report will contain some sections that may be blank due to the genetic information not being available.

Keep in mind that the above sample report shows genes and SNPs that may or may not be reported on your report. The exact genes and SNPs that you will see on your own report will be dependent upon the raw data that you upload from 23andMe or AncestryDNA.

Why Choose StrateGene®?
StrateGene® is a customized genetic report. The results help you determine if you have genetic variations that can give you susceptibilities to specific health issues. This tool tells you where your DNA has certain changes, or variations, known as SNPs or single nucleotide polymorphisms. SNPs change the structure and shape of the specific enzymes they create. These enzymes can be related to nutrient levels (such as folate!), toxic byproduct breakdown (histamine!), and even mood (dopamine!). Knowing where your genes and enzymes need support is a VERY powerful tool for optimizing your health.
StrateGene® focuses on 9 key health areas, known as Pathways. These are visual representations of the actual biochemical processes happening in your body. For example, the Histamine Pathway shows the enzymes responsible for breaking down histamine in your body. If you struggle with high histamine levels, it could be related to a SNP in your Histamine Pathway. Are you wondering if you’re part of the 50% of people with a MTHFR gene mutation? The StrateGene® Report will show you this in the context of your entire Methylation Pathway.
Across each of these Pathways, there are 150 different variations that are evaluated. These genetic variations are strategically chosen by Dr. Ben Lynch and his research team. The SNPs analyzed in the StrateGene® Report are known to have a large clinical impact on health across many populations. By limiting report data to well-researched SNPs, a qualified health care practitioner is able to formulate a targeted testing and treatment plan – faster.
The StrateGene® Report Analyzes Your Genes in These 9 Health Pathways:
- Dirty Genes Super Seven Pathway (how they all interconnect)
- Folate Pathway
- SAMe Pathway
- Methylation Cycle Pathway (combined Folate and SAM Pathways)
- Serotonin Pathway
- Dopamine Pathway
- Biopterin Pathway
- Histamine Pathway
- Glutathione Pathway
- Each of the Pathways Includes:
- Pathway Diagrams
- Visualize enzyme interactions so you can quickly see how they affect each other
- Your Unique Genetic Variants
- The Gene, SNP, RSID number, Allele, and impact on the enzyme
- Your Inherited Enzyme Speed
- Did you inherit a “slow” MTHFR enzyme?
- Epigenetic Influencing Factors
- Find out what factors are speeding up or slowing down each enzyme, which can play a part in changing the expression of the gene!
- Gene Explanations
- Learn what each gene does and how it impacts your health
- Factors that “Clean” and “Dirty” Each Gene/Enzyme
- Learn what to do AND what not to do for optimal gene health
- Learn how to clean your Dirty Genes (SNPs) with targeted supplementation and lifestyle
What Genetic Test Raw Data Can Be Used with the StrateGene® Report?
There are two types of raw data that you can upload to generate your StrateGene® Report.
- AncestryDNA: The StrateGene® Report will only work with AncestryDNA tests purchased AFTER May 2016 (Version 2 only). It is not compatible with earlier test versions or data.
- 23andMe: The StrateGene® Report works with ALL versions of the 23andMe DNA test. However, depending on which version of 23andMe you have, some SNPs that were available with earlier versions will be missing from later test versions. (See chart below)
Genes and SNPs Evaluated by StrateGene®
The SNPs analyzed and reported in the StrateGene® Report are dependent on the raw data provided by AncestryDNA or 23andMe. Seeking Health is not associated with any of these companies and will not be informed of any changes in their raw data collection. If the raw data is not available, the StrateGene® Report will show this section as "Data Not Available"
The raw data provided from these labs can and does change at any time without notice. Seeking Health does not have control of these changes and will not be notified. It is up to you, the customer, to contact 23andMe or AncestryDNA to determine which SNPs/RSIDs may or may not appear in your raw data.
Key Differences Between Raw Data Sources
In general, the more data that is collected on a SNP, the more reliable the resulting information.
See below for more detail on which polymorphisms are analyzed by each raw data option (AncestryDNA vs. 23andMe).

How to get your StrateGene® Upload Report:
QUICK START (for the somewhat tech savvy)
- Upload the 23andMe or AncestryDNA raw data file here:https://upload.strategene.me/input/core/?[email]
- (That's it! No need to read further if you understood the above. You can stay on this upload page until your report is processed and ready to download (10 minutes or less) or wait for the email notification.
Detailed Steps for 23andMe
- Download a 23andMe raw data file
- The file may take a while to download depending on your connection speed.
- The file will download as a ZIP-compressed file. It may uncompress automatically on some computers, such as Macs.
- Locate the download location and the file. The file name looks like this: "genome_Your_Name_v5_Full_20130731100557.txt" or like this: "genome_Your_Name_v5_Full_20130731100557.zip"
- Upload your file on this page to generate your StrateGene® Report: https://upload.strategene.me/input/core/?[email]
Detailed Steps for AncestryDNA 2.0
Once you have uploaded your raw data, stay on the page (10 minutes or less) until your StrateGene® report is ready for you to download. You can also wait for the email notification (10 minutes or less) and access your report through the link we email you.
Please be aware that we do not store your information and your report download will only be available for 20 days from the date of upload. We do this to protect your personal data. If you do not download and save your report within this timeframe, you will need to repurchase StrateGene® and reupload your raw data.
IMPORTANT: All of your bonus educational content is accessible in your StrateGene® Education Portal: https://strategene.me/
To access the Education Portal, create an account using the same email address that you used to purchase your StrateGene® Upload Report. (You must use the same email address, otherwise you will not be able to gain access to the Education Portal).
During account creation, you will create a unique username and password (these are case-sensitive!). On future visits to the Education Portal, you will use this username (not your email address) to log in.
Who may order StrateGene®?
This is available to retail customers worldwide. If you are a patient, we recommend consulting with a healthcare professional to receive advice on how to use the information in the StrateGene® report.
