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)

Differences Between Testing Companies

23andMe Raw DNA

File format: .txt
~600,000 SNPs (varies by version of their genotyping chip)
Genome build: GRCh37 (older versions) or GRCh38 (newer)
Includes both health and ancestry SNPs

AncestryDNA Raw DNA

File format: .txt
~700,000 SNPs
Primarily ancestry-focused, but still usable for health/trait exploration
Genome build: GRCh37

MyHeritage Raw DNA

File format: .zip (must unzip to get the .txt)
~700,000 SNPs
Genome build: GRCh37
Broad coverage, especially useful for matching across tools

Why Download Your Raw DNA Data?

Explore beyond ancestry reports (nutrition, traits, health risks).
Cross-platform use – analyze the same file in 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.

Get Started

Raw DNA data is the digital file generated by a DNA testing service such as 23andMe, AncestryDNA, or MyHeritage. It contains your genetic results at hundreds of thousands of markers, often called SNPs, which can be used for deeper analysis beyond a standard ancestry or health report.

By analyzing your existing raw DNA data, you can explore structured, science-based insights related to genetic traits, nutrition, medication response, and health-related tendencies. Unlike basic consumer reports, raw DNA analysis gives you access to the underlying genetic data so it can be interpreted in greater detail.

At GenesUnveiled, we focus on clarity, biological relevance, and transparency. Our reports are built around known genetic mechanisms and explained in a way that is practical and easy to understand—without exaggerated claims or vague wellness guessing. We support 23andMe raw DNA data as well as files from other major DNA testing providers.

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.
