Raw DNA analysis sites
Raw DNA analysis sites: Where should you upload raw DNA data?
The right raw DNA upload site depends on what you want: a readable report, local privacy, a research table, whole-genome tools, a pathway map, or a broader wellness program. This chooser compares the main workflows before you upload sensitive data anywhere.
GenoSight is not affiliated with the other services listed here. This page uses public product pages to help raw-DNA users choose an interpretation workflow.
Quick chooser
Match the tool to the job.
Start with GenoSight when
You already have a 23andMe, AncestryDNA, or MyHeritage raw genotype file
You want a readable educational report before paying
You want PDFs and findings-grounded chat on paid plans
You do not need WGS, VCF, BAM, FASTQ, CRAM, PDFs, or screenshots
Use another tool when
You want browser-local analysis instead of hosted report storage
You want whole-genome sequencing or broad file-format support
You want a specific pathway map, app marketplace, or research table
You need clinical confirmation or a medical-grade test ordered by a clinician
Start with your file source
The same raw DNA file can point to different next steps.
Provider-specific pages help you separate the service that made the data from the analysis site you choose next.
23andMe raw data file
Use this path if you already extracted the text file from a 23andMe raw genotype ZIP and want reports instead of another kit or relatives workflow.
Compare 23andMe workflowAncestryDNA raw data file
Use this path if you already downloaded AncestryDNA raw data and want health-report context rather than ethnicity, matches, and family-tree tools.
Compare AncestryDNA workflowMyHeritage raw DNA file
Use this path if you already have a MyHeritage raw DNA export and want educational reports rather than ethnicity estimates, Genetic Groups, and matches.
Compare MyHeritage workflowTool comparison
Pick by workflow, not by brand name.
A raw DNA file can be used in very different ways. Some tools are report-first, some are browser-local research libraries, some are whole-genome workspaces, and some are wellness programs.

Sensitive data
Upload cautiously, especially for health claims.
Raw DNA data can be useful, but it is not a diagnosis. Before uploading, decide whether you want local-only analysis, hosted reports, broad file support, or a specific report format.
Raw DNA upload sites are educational unless they clearly provide clinical-grade testing and professional medical interpretation.
Consumer raw files can have missing calls, strand differences, chip-version gaps, and false positives.
Do not use a raw DNA upload result by itself to change medications, start supplements, or make medical decisions.
If a result is clinically important, confirm it with a qualified professional and an appropriate clinical test.

FAQ
Raw DNA upload questions.
What are the best raw DNA analysis sites?
There is no universal best site. GenoSight is best fit when you want a no-card readable educational report from a compatible 23andMe, AncestryDNA, or MyHeritage file. Other sites may fit better for browser-local analysis, whole-genome file storage, pathway diagrams, ancestry tools, or broader wellness programs.
Where should I upload raw DNA data first?
If you want a no-card readable report from a compatible 23andMe, AncestryDNA, or MyHeritage file, start with GenoSight. If privacy-local analysis is the main requirement, consider a browser-local tool. If you need whole-genome files or an app marketplace, use a broader genome platform.
Can I upload a PDF report instead of raw DNA data?
No for GenoSight. Use the original raw genotype file from your testing provider. PDF reports, screenshots, whole-genome VCF, BAM, FASTQ, and CRAM files are not supported by GenoSight.
Are raw DNA upload reports medical advice?
No. GenoSight reports are educational only, and many third-party raw DNA tools are also informational. Clinically meaningful findings need confirmation through appropriate medical testing and a qualified professional.
Can I try GenoSight before paying?
Yes. New accounts get 250 free credits with no card required, enough to upload a compatible file and test a real report flow.
