How to upload your DNA file to SelfDecode

You can upload a raw DNA file from 23andMe, Ancestry, MyHeritage, or other providers to SelfDecode. Download the file from the company that tested your DNA, then upload it from your SelfDecode dashboard. Most files finish scanning within 2–5 hours.

  1. Download your raw DNA file from the company that tested you

Most DNA testing companies publish instructions for obtaining your raw DNA file. A quick web search or a call to their support team can help.

  1. Open your dashboard and start your DNA file upload from there.

  2. Upload your file exactly as you downloaded it, and select the service it came from. If it’s a .zip file, leave it zipped.

  3. Wait for your email. Scanning usually takes 2–5 hours as we analyze up to 200 million genetic variants. When upload volume is very high, it can take up to 12 hours.

Note: Each profile holds one DNA file. If you don’t see the upload option, a DNA kit order may already be in progress, or a file has already been uploaded to your profile.
