Raw DNA Analysis: How Does It Work?
Your raw DNA file contains far more information than most DNA testing companies show. GenesUnveiled helps you analyze raw DNA data from providers like 23andMe, AncestryDNA, MyHeritage, and more.
Our platform uses client-side raw DNA analysis directly in your browser, so your data is not uploaded or stored on external servers.
What Is Raw DNA Analysis?
Raw DNA analysis is the process of interpreting raw DNA data you receive from your DNA testing company after downloading your raw DNA file. That file contains hundreds of thousands of genetic markers, often listed as SNPs, which can be analyzed to reveal patterns related to health risks, nutrient metabolism, inherited traits, drug response, and more.
Most DNA testing services give you a limited set of reports. We help you explore the broader information already available in your file.
