Raw Data in Starter and Advanced kits
The Raw Data files are files that contain unprocessed genetic information, meaning the raw data generated directly by a laboratory from the saliva sample. These files contain all the genetic markers present in the genotyping array used to study your DNA, including information about your genotype (the nucleotides you possess and their location in the genome).
Although these files have not undergone quality control to determine which variants are suitable for analysis, tellmeGen users can access their own Raw Data file, which is available for download in .csv format from their private account. This file contains the genetic markers and the corresponding genotype for each of them.
Additionally, if you have Raw Data files from other specialized companies like 23andMe, Ancestry, or MyHeritage, you can upload them to tellmeGen to access the analyses we offer.
The Raw Data file includes details such as:
- rsid: The number that defines a human variation in the public database dbSNP.
- Chromosome: The number of the chromosome where the genetic variant is found, including sex chromosomes (X, Y) and mitochondrial chromosomes (MT).
- Position: The location of the genetic marker according to the GRCh37 database.
- Genotype: The genotype results of the genetic markers, represented by nucleotide combinations (A, T, G, C) or by the letters I and D for insertions and deletions, respectively.
The Raw Data is downloaded in .zip format from your tellmeGen account, in the section Settings → Kits → Download Raw Data.
It is important to note that this data is informational and should not be used for medical diagnoses. Furthermore, you can upload these files to other genetic interpretation platforms.
