These are .csv files generated from Ultra sequencing data so you can view your data without working with technical files. Their columns contain each variant's identifier (rsID, where available), chromosome, position based on the GRCh37 reference genome and your genotype.
- MyVariants has a structure similar to raw data from a genotyping chip, so you can use it on third-party platforms that accept this type of file.
- MyVariants Ultra includes all of the above, plus the positions where your DNA differs from the reference genome, allowing you to explore your genetic variation in greater detail.
MyVariants can be opened with Excel, Google Sheets or other spreadsheet applications. MyVariants Ultra contains millions of rows and exceeds the limits of standard spreadsheets (Excel supports just over a million rows), so you will need a text editor capable of handling large files or a data analysis tool to view it in full. Neither file includes any medical interpretation, and they do not replace the technical files (CRAM, FASTQ and VCF) needed for bioinformatics analysis. Having a particular genotype does not, on its own, imply a condition or trait: health-related information should be interpreted by a professional.
