MyHeritage also acquired two new companies: SNPedia and Promethease by
acquiring the company that owned them: River Road Bio.

SNPedia.com is a wiki containing information linking genetic variants and
medical conditions as well as traits. This will remain a free resource for
the academic community and for consumers.

Promethease.com is a literature retrieval service. It allows consumers to
upload their raw DNA data >from which ever DNA testing company they had their
test taken, to automatically compare it to SNPmedia to see relevant scientific
findings regarding their genome. This service will be free through the end of 2019.

Information on the purchase of the two companies may be read in the
MyHeritage press release at:
