'''*Darkside:''' This free tool partially reconstructs a parent of a selected child donor by isolating DNA from the opposite copy of the child's chromosomes across regions where the child shares DNA segments with family members on the opposite side of the family as the target parent. | '''*Darkside:''' This free tool partially reconstructs a parent of a selected child donor by isolating DNA from the opposite copy of the child's chromosomes across regions where the child shares DNA segments with family members on the opposite side of the family as the target parent. | ||
'''*Create a Private Project:''' This subscription tool allows users to organize their DNA kits into projects. Users can also invite other users who have matching kits to submit them to their projects and collaborate. There are also three types of special Smart Projects (Reverse Phase, Visual Phasing and Creeper), in which the Creeper (the site's automated assistant) guides users through complex reconstruction workflows. Visual phasing and generic Creeper Smart Projects are currently under construction, but the unfinished versions are already available to subscribers for beta testing. The Creeper-assisted Reverse Phase Smart Project workflow is already completed. | '''*Create a Private Project:''' This subscription tool allows users to organize their DNA kits into projects.
