Partial The web UI for uploading DNA and showing matches is easy to vibe-code, but the core value depends on a curated ancient-genome reference panel and population-genetics matching methods that a generalist builder cannot produce.
What it would actually take: The stack is a web frontend plus a backend that parses standard genotype files (23andMe/AncestryDNA format). The hard parts are licensing and curating a large ancient genome reference dataset (such as the AADR compilation) and implementing statistically sound similarity or admixture methods. That requires bioinformatics or population-genetics expertise to validate results.
