FAQ

• Q: Why is Genomelink the best site for uploading DNA for Ancestry and Traits?

  A: Ancestry, 23andMe, and MyHeritage do not allow you to upload DNA test results from other services. Genomelink lets you upload DNA data from any major testing service. You do not need to buy their DNA kits to get reports.
  
  Genomelink offers unique DNA analysis and reports you won’t find elsewhere. Our Deep Ancestry report covers over 130 ethnicities and regions. In comparison, Ancestry has 107 and 23andMe has 44. We host one of the largest ancient DNA databases in the world. You can access thousands of years of genetic history by uploading your DNA easily.
  
  In addition, people recognize Genomelink as the best site for genetic traits. Our science team has gathered over 400 unique traits from many genomics studies. These traits include Nutrition, Personality, Intelligence, Sports, and Physical Traits. You’ll unlock 100 traits for free, plus receive new bonus traits every week.
  
  Finally, our DNA Match feature connects relatives across different testing services. Most DNA kits only match you with people in their own database. Genomelink increases your chances of finding relatives. It does this by comparing data from users of Ancestry, 23andMe, MyHeritage, and more.

• Q: Which DNA test services’ data can Genomelink accept?

  A: Genomelink supports DNA uploads from AncestryDNA, 23andMe, MyHeritage, FamilyTreeDNA, LivingDNA, and more. We also accept whole genome sequencing (WGS) files.

  Ancestry | 23andMe | MyHeritage
  
  Most DNA testing services must let you download your raw DNA data. If you can't find this option, check their support pages or contact customer service.

• Q: How is Genomelink different from other DNA upload sites like GEDmatch?

  A: Genomelink specializes in Ancestry & Traits analysis. You can access many unique DNA reports. These include regional ancestry breakdowns, ancient DNA reports, and Nutrition & Wellness insights. Many people widely recognize us for our advanced genetic traits analysis.
  
  Like GEDmatch, we also provide DNA matching—but with a stronger focus on ease of use and privacy. With Genomelink, you don’t need to publicly expose your full personal details. Genomelink and GEDmatch have different user groups. We suggest using both to increase your chances of finding new relatives.
