What is Raw DNA Data?
-
A text-based file (usually .txt or .csv) with your genetic variants.
-
Contains your genotypes at specific SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms).
-
Typically includes ~600,000–1,000,000 SNPs depending on the company.
-
Doesn’t sequence your full genome – just a targeted snapshot of important locations.
🧬 What does it look like?
-
Each row = one SNP (identified by its rsID, e.g., rs1800795).
-
Columns usually include: rsID (the SNP ID number), Chromosome, Position (genome location) , and your genotype (your result, e.g., AA, AG, GG)

Why Download Your Raw DNA Data?
-
Explore beyond ancestry reports (nutrition, traits, health risks).
-
Cross-platform use – upload the same file to multiple tools.
-
Data ownership – you control a copy of your genetic information.
-
Updates in science – as new SNPs are studied, your file can be re-analyzed.

​Your DNA contains long-term biological information that standard tests cannot capture. By analyzing your existing raw DNA file (from services like 23andMe or Ancestry), we translate genetic variants into structured, science-based insights you can actually use.
​
Our platform focuses on clarity, biological relevance, and transparency. Each report is built around known genetic mechanisms—covering disease risk tendencies, gene activity patterns, nutrition needs, traits, and medication response—without vague claims or lifestyle guessing.
Most DNA testing companies let you download your raw DNA data – but what does that really mean? If you’ve tested with 23andMe, AncestryDNA, MyHeritage, or similar services, you already have a file that contains hundreds of thousands of your genetic markers. This file can be re-used with other tools (like GenesUnveiled) to explore your health risks, nutrition insights, and genetic traits.
