Download your raw DNA file

Request it today. 23andMe emails you when the file is ready, so bookmark this page and come back with it.

1. 01Sign in at 23andme.com and open Account Settings, then click View under "23andMe Data".
2. 02Confirm the profile's date of birth, tick the box and click "Submit request".
3. 03Wait for the "Your 23andMe raw data download is ready!" email. It usually takes about a week, sometimes up to 30 days.
4. 04Follow the email link, confirm the date of birth again and download. The file name starts with "genome".
5. 05Drop the .zip into the free analysis below. No need to unzip it. The .txt inside works too.

1. 01Sign in at ancestry.com and open DNA Settings for your test.
2. 02In the "Download or Delete" section choose "Download DNA data", tick the box and click "Continue".
3. 03Confirm with your password or with a code sent by email.
4. 04Wait for the email (it can take up to 24 hours) and click "Download DNA Data". The link works once and expires after a week.
5. 05Drop the dna-data-(date).zip into the free analysis below. No need to unzip it. AncestryDNA.txt works too.

Use a computer or an Android phone. MyHeritage does not allow the download on an iPhone or iPad.

1. 01Sign in to myheritage.com, open the DNA tab and choose "Manage DNA kits". Only the kit manager can download.
2. 02Click the three dots next to your kit and choose "Download", then "Continue" twice to accept the terms.
3. 03Open the email MyHeritage sends. The link works for 24 hours. Enter your password and click "Download".
4. 04Drop the .zip into the free analysis below. No need to unzip it. MyHeritage_raw_dna_data.csv works too.

The FamilyTreeDNA chip covers fewer of our markers than 23andMe or AncestryDNA, so the report is shorter.

1. 01Turn on two-step verification (2FA) in your FamilyTreeDNA account first. Downloads are blocked without it.
2. 02Sign in to your kit and go to Results & Tools, then Autosomal DNA, then "Download Raw Data".
3. 03Download "Build 37 Concatenated Raw Data". Not the Y-SNP file, which holds no report markers.
4. 04Drop the .csv.gz into the free analysis below. No need to unpack it.

1. 01Get the VCF file from your lab, sequencing provider, or research kit. Plain .vcf and gzipped .vcf.gz both work as-is.
2. 02The ID column must hold rsIDs (rs123...). Markers are matched by rsID, so a VCF with "." in that column gives no results.
3. 03The file must unpack to 200 MB or less. Most whole-genome VCFs are several gigabytes and are not supported yet.
4. 04A whole-genome VCF usually lists only positions where you differ from the reference, so markers where you match it are missing.
5. 05Drop it into the free analysis below. No conversion needed.

1. 01Log in to lk.genotek.ru.
2. 02Click your avatar in the top right corner and open the raw DNA test data section.
3. 03Download the VCF file. It is free; there is no need to buy the paid 23andMe-format export.
4. 04Drop the file into the free analysis below as it is.
