The Masterjohn Genetic Choline Calculator is a free tool you can use to turn your raw data file from Ancestry or 23andMe into a precise recommendation of how much choline you should aim to get from food! Click here to start using it: The Masterjohn Genetic Choline Calculator
I'm very excited to use the calculator, however, I have a whole-genome .vcf file that might not be the right format, but also is much larger than 25 MB (~1.5 GB). *Probably* it's unsustainable for you to maintain a site where you process such large files for free. Would you consider creating a calculator form where we can enter the alleles for the SNPs and it spits out a recommendation? That seems like it'd be the easiest way to support whole-genome files.
Hi! I downloaded my raw data from TellmeGen and it didn't work. I tried unzipping the file, which gave me a csv file. Didn't work. Tried converting it to a text file, that didn't work either. Any help?
Quick question. How come when calculating food sources of choline, when looking at eggs for instance, majority of that is Phosphatidylcholine, but you then aren’t only taking 15% of that?
Compared with supplements like Phosphatidylcholine capsules you say to take only 15% as the amount of choline listed. Any reason why how a supplement listing 136mg of Phosphatidylcholine is not the same as the egg yolk equivalent that has 136mg where 93% of that is Phosphatidylcholine? Just confused why for the food sources 100% of Phosphatidylcholine goes towards the daily requirement, but with the PC supplement you say to calculate only 15%.
It just looks like according to your calculator, 136mg of PC capsules should be roughly equivalent to one egg yolk Since 93% of an egg yolk is listed as PC.
Hey @ChrisMasterjohn would it be possible to send me the SNPs to watch for the genetic choline calculator in a PM. Alternatively, if you list them, I can send my alleles to you, you could calculate for me.
The reason is that I used Nebula, and the input files are not compatible.

Hey Chris,
Is it compatible to use with Myheritage?
i converted the MyHeritage .csv file to tab-delimited .txt, but no luck so far.
"Error: The uploaded file is damaged or is not in a format that we recognize."
any idea how to fix this?

Hi Chris,
I'd really like to use the Choline Calculator, but I'm wondering what the data privacy/security is like.
