Uploading to Living DNA

Which companies do we accept?

We've done a lot of work behind the scenes to make sure that our systems can read data from the most common sites. These are:

• AncestryDNA 
• 23AndMe
• MyHeritage
• FamilyTreeDNA (family finder)
• Illumina
• Gene by Gene
• National Geographic (Gene 2.0)

Which format?

The file will also need to be in the correct format. There are a few file types that our systems can process, so please make sure that the file you're uploading has one of the following extensions*:

.TXT

.CSV

.ZIP

.GZ

*Please note that renaming the file with a different extension will not change the file type. 

Important information:

-Make sure that the file is Autosomal only, and does not include any mitochondrial or Y-DNA data. 

-Make sure that your file is Autosomal Build 37. 

-Do not edit or modify the file. 

-To get the best out of your upload, please make sure that your file is a fresh copy of your data (in genome build 37), and without opening it, upload it to us. 

- Do not attempt to upload a file you've downloaded from Living DNA. There is no benefit to uploading your data back to us, as we already have a copy of our systems.
