If you have ever taken a DNA test with companies such as 23andMe, Ancestry, MyHeritage or FamilyTreeDNA, you hold a digital file of invaluable worth: your Raw Data or raw genetic data file.
This file contains information on the DNA markers that were analysed, but many platforms only offer a limited interpretation of that data. The good news? You do not need to pay for a full test again, nor do you have to go through the saliva sample process over again to unlock more insights. By uploading your Raw Data to tellmeGen, you give your DNA a second lease of life.
What are the advantages of uploading your Raw Data to tellmeGen?
1. The highest number of items on the market
Genetics is advancing by leaps and bounds, and so is our platform. By uploading your file to tellmeGen, you can unlock a vast amount of information about yourself. This includes an exhaustive breakdown of your genetic predisposition to complex diseases, inherited conditions (carrier status), personal traits, wellness parameters (nutrition and sport) and ancestry. It is the most comprehensive interpretation you can obtain from your existing data.
2. Ironclad security and strict compliance with European GDPR
In the digital age, the privacy of your DNA is non-negotiable. In light of recent data breaches and massive cyberattacks that have compromised the privacy of millions of users (such as the severe hack suffered by 23andMe), security has become priority number one.
As we are based in Europe, tellmeGen operates under the strict General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), one of the most stringent legal frameworks in the world regarding data privacy. Your data is encrypted, anonymised and never sold to third parties without your explicit consent. Discover here the reasons for tellmeGen to protect your Raw Data
3. Options to suit every budget
We have 3 plans available to you:
A free version of our analysis which allows you to choose up to 25 reports covering your health, wellness, personal traits, pharmacological compatibility and origins.
You will upgrade to up to 90 full reports across personal traits, wellness data and ancestry. In addition, you will have the option to choose up to 5 health and pharmacological compatibility reports.
The full version of our analysis, providing you with up to 430 complete reports on your health (complex and inherited conditions), wellness metrics, drug metabolism and efficacy, and ancestral genetics. This includes information on the haplogroups you belong to and the percentage of Neanderthal DNA present in your sample.
4. Constant (and free) updates to your results
If there is one thing that truly sets us apart from the competition, besides what has been mentioned above, it is that at tellmeGen we offer free lifelong updates. This means we commit to keeping our users' reports up to date as new scientific breakthroughs in the field of genetics come to light.
5. Empowerment and proactive prevention
The ultimate goal of uploading your Raw Data to tellmeGen is not to frighten you, but quite the opposite: to empower you. Knowing your genetic predispositions allows you to take control of your health today, adapting your lifestyle, medical check-ups and nutrition to prevent the development of conditions in the future.
6. Professional genetic counselling at your fingertips
Understanding hundreds of health results can feel overwhelming. That is why we do not leave you alone with the data. tellmeGen has a team of geneticists on hand to help you interpret your results, answer your questions, and guide you on the next steps to take towards improving your preventative health.
7. An intuitive and easy-to-understand platform
We have designed our interface so that you do not need to be a scientist or biology expert to make sense of your Raw Data. All information is categorised using a visual, colour-coded system that allows you to see at a glance your level of risk compared to the population average, or the potential presence of certain genetic variants.
The process is quick, secure and 100% online. Simply download your file from your original provider and upload it to our platform. Your instruction manual has many more chapters than you think; it is time to read them all.
