Can I Upload My Raw Dna to 23andme

In this Upload-Download series, nosotros'll cover each major vendor:

• How to download raw data files from the vendor
• How to upload raw data files to the vendor, if possible
• Other mainstream vendors where you can upload this vendor's files

Please note that downloading your DNA file from whatever vendor does not affect your matching results at that vendor. Yous are only downloading a re-create of your raw Dna file.

Uploading TO 23andMe

This part is easy with 23andMe, because 23andMe doesn't take any other vendor'south files. There is no ability to upload TO 23andMe. Yous have to exam with 23andMe if you want DNA results from 23andMe.

Downloading FROM 23andMe

In order to upload your autosomal Deoxyribonucleic acid file to another testing vendor, or GedMatch, for either matching or ethnicity, you'll need to first download the DNA file from 23andMe.

Download Pace 1

Sign on to your business relationship at 23andMe.

Under your name at the upper right-hand corner of your page, by clicking on the piffling circle with your initials, you'll see "Scan Raw Data." Click in that location.

Download Step ii

You'll see "Your Raw Data." Click on the blue download link.

Download Stride 3

On the Download Raw Data page, scroll down towards the bottom until you see "Asking your raw data download."

Click on Submit request.

Download Step 4

Yous'll see the following message saying an e-mail service volition be sent to you lot.

Download Step 5

A few minutes later, an e-mail will arrive that says this:

Click on the green button in the email which will take you back to 23andMe to sign in.

Download Step vi

After you sign in, you'll see that your download file is ready. Click on "Download Raw Data" and you will see the following.

Your raw data file volition exist downloaded to your computer where you lot'll demand to store it in a location and past a name that you tin can find.

The file name will exist something like "genome_Roberta_Estes_v2_v3_Full_xxxxxxxx" where the xs is a long number. I would advise calculation the word 23andMe to the front when you lot save the file on your organisation.

About vendors want an unopened zip file, so if y'all want to open your file, first re-create it to another proper name. Otherwise, y'all'll take to download again.

23andMe DNA File Uploads to Other Vendors

23andMe files tin be in i any ane of four formats:

• V2 – the primeval tests taken at 23andMe. V2 test takers were offered an upgrade to V3.
• V3 – V3 files commencement December 2010 through December 2013
• V4 – V4 files starting time December 2022 through August 2017
• V5 – V5 files get-go August 2022 through present, August 2021

The changes in the files due to fleck differences sometimes cause issues with uploads to other vendors who use other testing chips.

From beneath to >>>>>>>	Family Tree Deoxyribonucleic acid Accepts *	MyHeritage Accepts**	GedMatch Accepts ***	Ancestry Accepts	LivingDNA Accepts ****
23andMe V2	No	Yes	Aye	No	Yes
23andMe V3	Yes	Yes	Yep	No	Yes
23andMe V4	Yep	Aye	Yes	No	Aye
23andMe V5	Yes	Yeah	Yes	No	Yes

* The upload to Family Tree DNA and matching is free, but avant-garde tools including the chromosome browser and ethnicity require a one-time $nineteen unlock fee.

** At MyHeritage, the upload and matching is gratis, only advanced tools require a one-time $29 unlock fee unless y'all are a MyHeritage subscriber. You can upload here and try a free subscription here.

*** At GedMatch, matching is complimentary, just the more advanced features require a Tier 1 subscription for $10 per month.

**** LivingDNA accepts files, only they use a different chip and their matching is still a work-in-procedure.

23andMe Testing and Dna File Upload Strategy

My recommendation, if you've tested at 23andMe, depending on your test version, is as follows:

• V2 – Upgrade which means retest at 23andMe to newer test version, or simply test at another vendor
• V3, V4, or V5 – Upload to Family Tree DNA, MyHeritage and GedMatch
