AncestryDNA methylation analysis
Turn AncestryDNA raw data into a careful methylation report.
GenoSight can use a compatible AncestryDNA raw genotype file to review selected MTHFR, COMT, folate, and B-vitamin context in an educational Detox and Methylation report. It does not measure methylation levels or prescribe supplements.
Good fit when
You want health context from an ancestry file.
You already extracted the text file from an AncestryDNA raw data ZIP export
You want MTHFR and COMT context from an ancestry-focused test file
You want citations, caveats, and a PDF-ready educational report
You understand this does not measure methylation levels or diagnose a condition
Workflow
Start with the file, then slow down the interpretation.
Download the raw file
Use the DNA Settings download from your Ancestry account, then extract the raw dna-data text genotype file from the ZIP. GenoSight does not accept the ZIP archive, ethnicity estimate, match list, screenshot, FASTQ, BAM, or VCF file.
Check marker coverage
Coverage can vary by chip version. The local MTHFR and COMT checker can show whether common markers such as rs1801133, rs1801131, and rs4680 appear in your file.
Run Detox and Methylation
The report frames MTHFR, COMT, folate, B-vitamin, and adjacent context with uncertainty instead of turning raw genotype strings into supplement instructions.
Methylation genes are not methylation measurements.
A raw genotype file can show inherited variants that may be relevant to folate, B-vitamin, and catecholamine discussions. It cannot show your current methylation status, homocysteine, nutrient levels, symptoms, or medication context.
What the AncestryDNA raw data export gives you
A raw, uninterpreted marker table created from an AncestryDNA test, separate from ethnicity estimates and DNA matches.
What GenoSight adds
Plain-language educational synthesis, source context, report caveats, PDFs, and findings-grounded chat on paid plans.
What neither replaces
Clinical methylation testing, homocysteine labs, folate or B12 labs, diagnosis, treatment, prescribing, or personalized supplement dosing.

FAQ
AncestryDNA methylation analysis questions.
Can GenoSight do methylation analysis from AncestryDNA raw data?
Yes, if the file is a compatible AncestryDNA raw genotype export. GenoSight can generate an educational Detox and Methylation report that frames selected methylation-related variants such as MTHFR and COMT with caveats and source context.
Does this measure my DNA methylation levels?
No. An AncestryDNA raw genotype file is not an epigenetic methylation assay. GenoSight reviews inherited variants and explains related context; it does not measure methylation levels, epigenetic age, or current biochemical status.
Which markers are people usually looking for?
Common searches include MTHFR C677T rs1801133, MTHFR A1298C rs1801131, and COMT Val158Met rs4680. Coverage depends on the raw file and chip version.
Can the report tell me which supplements to take?
No. GenoSight keeps the output educational. Supplement decisions depend on labs, diet, symptoms, medications, pregnancy status, and clinician guidance, not one raw DNA marker.
