Get started

Start with the DNA file you already have

You do not need another DNA test. Export the raw data from a supported provider, or continue with the file you already downloaded. DNA Layer will check what that specific file can support before showing your preview.

Three steps from old test to new context

  1. 1

    Find the raw export

    Choose your provider below and download the machine-readable DNA file.

  2. 2

    Upload it privately

    The original file is read locally in your browser and is not retained by DNA Layer.

  3. 3

    Review your free preview

    See which evidence-backed findings your exact file can support before deciding whether to unlock the full layer.

Choose your provider

  • 23andMe: Request Raw Data and look for the genome ZIP file.
  • AncestryDNA: Open DNA Settings, then Download or delete, and choose Download DNA Data.
  • MyHeritage: Request the manager-only export and use its 24-hour email link.
  • TellMeGen: Use the raw data export; support is newer and less tested.

Not sure what you have?

A raw DNA export is usually a ZIP or text file containing rows of marker data. It is not a PDF report, screenshot, or family tree. Read the supported-provider comparison or the guide for older DNA test results.

Know the limits before you begin

DNA Layer is informational and educational. Consumer DNA files do not cover every possible variant, and findings are not diagnoses. Important results may require confirmation in a clinical laboratory and review by a qualified professional. Read how findings are matched and checked.
