Raw DNA data files contain SNPs (single-nucleotide polymorphism), or genetic markers, that you have tested positive for. Our system translates this raw data into a format which can be easily interpreted in a user friendly and easy to understand manner.
You have the option to pay for an upgrade and receive your full autosomal results which will include regional and sub-regional breakdowns, where possible. You will also have the option to upgrade to receive your full wellbeing report if your original DNA provider tested for the majority of SNP markers required.
At Living DNA we take the job of being custodians of your data very seriously. We’re committed to your privacy and security at all times.
