Do you know that your RAW file does not contain all the DNA information required to cover all the available ancestry reports?

The reason your RAW DNA file may not cover all the available reports is that it contains only approximately 700,000 SNPs (Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms). These SNPs represent specific genetic variations, and while they provide valuable information, they do not encompass the entirety of the genome. To generate comprehensive reports, a broader and more detailed set of genetic data, including a larger number of SNPs, is needed. DNA RAW file imputation can extend the amount of SNPs (DNA data) from 700.000 SNPs to 30 million SNPs.

We provide a RAW DNA file imputation service

Our service facilitates the imputation of any RAW DNA data file, upgrading it from approximately 700,000 SNPs to 30 million SNPs using the latest versions of BEAGLE, BCFTOOLS, and the 1000 Genomes human reference panel. Please be aware that we only perform imputation on RAW files using the HG19 reference. This human genome reference is utilized by leading ancestry and genealogy companies.

Upon completion of the imputation process, you will receive the following:

  • A large file containing 30 million SNPs in 23andme RAW format (approx. 250 MB in a compressed ZIP file). This file can be converted to other RAW DNA file formats using PLINK or DNA Kit Studio.
  • A small file containing 2.5 million SNPs in 23andme RAW format (approx. 20 MB in a compressed ZIP file), which is ready to be uploaded to websites such as Gedmatch, Promethease and many more.

Please note that the imputation process only applies to chromosomes 1-22 and does not cover MTDNA or YDNA.

LEGAL DISCLAIMER

By using our genomic data service, you acknowledge and agree to the following terms and conditions:

1. PURPOSE This service is intended solely for ancestry and genealogy research purposes. It is not designed, intended, or suitable for health-related uses or medical purposes.

2. NO HEALTH PREDICTIONS We explicitly disclaim any responsibility for health predictions or interpretations made from the files provided through this service. Users are strictly prohibited from using our converted data for medical or health-related purposes.

3. DATA ACCURACY While we strive for accuracy in our imputation process, please be aware of the following limitations: - The imputation process can lead to an error rate of genotypes ranging from 1% to 5%, due to the statistical nature of the process. It is not advisable to utilize the imputed file for health predictions, as there is a chance of encountering false positives/negatives.

4. THIRD-PARTY USE The compatibility of our imputed files with third-party DNA websites is provided as-is. We do not guarantee the acceptance or proper functioning of our files on all external platforms.

5. DATA PRIVACY We prioritize the security of your genetic data and provide a link for you to download your imputed data directly from your private account. However, we cannot guarantee absolute security during transmission or storage on your end.

6. NO WARRANTY This service is provided "as is" without any warranties, express or implied. We do not guarantee the completeness, reliability, or accuracy of the converted data.

7. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY We shall not be held liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or exemplary damages resulting from your use of this service or the data provided.

8. USER RESPONSIBILITY You are solely responsible for how you use the imputed data. We strongly recommend consulting with qualified professionals for any health-related concerns or interpretations of genetic data.

9. COMPLIANCE Users must comply with all applicable laws and regulations regarding the use and sharing of genetic information in their jurisdiction.

10. CHANGES TO SERVICE We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of this service without prior notice.
