How to upload your DNA file to SelfDecode

You can upload a DNA file from third-party services like Ancestry or 23andMe to your SelfDecode account. The process depends on whether you're a new customer or already have an account.

Note: You can only upload one DNA file per account. You cannot upload an additional file if you've already uploaded one or ordered a SelfDecode DNA kit.

  1. Obtain your raw DNA file from the service where you had your DNA tested. For instructions on downloading from specific services:
  2. Log in to your SelfDecode account and click Analyze DNA File from your dashboard.
