An alignment is not a consumer RAW file.
This service extracts genotype calls from compatible sequencing alignments. It differs from reformatting a VCF and from aligning unprocessed FASTQ reads.
- RAW genotype filesA SuperKit file with approximately 2.5 million supported markers, the one to try first for the widest compatibility, plus smaller V5 and V3 layout files for websites that ask for a specific version. Available calls depend on coverage and quality; a named marker set does not guarantee that every position is present.
- A plain-language results guideA single page at the top of your download that explains each file and which RAW file to upload first. Unzip the whole download first so its links work, and upload RAW .zip files exactly as they are.
- Haplogroup predictionsY-DNA and mtDNA predictions where the necessary chromosome reads are present. A prediction indicates a lineage branch, not proof of a specific ancestor or family relationship.
- Chromosome extractsAvailable mitochondrial BAM, VCF and FASTA outputs, with Y-chromosome and combined extracts where supported by the input. Review the receiving service's requirements before using an export.
Start with the right source file.
Choose a service from the file you actually have. A genotype export, a variant file, an alignment and a read set contain different information.
Explore file compatibility- Source file
- A complete, single-person BAM or CRAM containing aligned reads. The standard RAW conversion upload expects GRCh37/hg19 or GRCh38/hg38.
- Chromosome coverage
- Missing mitochondrial or Y-chromosome reads cannot be recovered by format conversion. Some provider CRAMs omit these regions.
- Coverage and variant types
- Exome, targeted or Y-only data cannot supply whole-genome coverage. RAW conversion has limitations for INDELs and other non-SNP representations.
Prepare the source. Review the output.
A purchase and a file transfer are separate steps. Follow the instructions for the service on your order.
Check the alignment
Confirm the file type, reference build and the person it belongs to. Contact support if the source or chromosome coverage is uncertain.
Order the matching service
Purchase the full WGS conversion when available. Use the existing order's file-submission instructions and confirm the stated processing purpose.
Review and keep the output
Follow the order status, review the generated files and download available results. Check the retention information shown for your upload and result.

Your purchase at a glance
- You receive
- RAW genotype output, available chromosome extracts and supported haplogroup predictions. Downloadable RAW and chromosome files; available outputs depend on the input reads.
- Covers
- The full conversion service for one complete supported single-person BAM or CRAM alignment.
- Access
- One conversion order. Processing and download status are shown through the existing order and purchased-product workflow.
- You need
- A compatible aligned BAM/CRAM on GRCh37/hg19 or GRCh38/hg38, with suitable coverage and the required chromosome reads.
- Not included
- Y-DNA and mtDNA outputs depend on usable reads. Storing a file in the WGS library does not purchase or start conversion; third-party acceptance is not guaranteed.
After purchaseFollow the file instructions attached to your purchased service. Complete its validation/submission steps, check the order status and download available results from the purchased product.

Understand the processing before sharing.
This is a managed service, rather than a local browser calculation. Review the stated purpose, submission instructions and retention information before supplying a genetic file.
Read the Privacy Policy- Choose the purpose
- Use the instructions for the service you have ordered. File storage, receipt, validation and completed processing are distinct stages.
- Keep your source
- Keep an original backup and download the output you need. Review the upload and result notices for the applicable retention period.
- Research limits
- The output supports compatible research workflows. It is not a clinical diagnosis, a medical recommendation or proof of identity.
Keep the boundaries clear.
The right input and a clear output specification make the next step easier.
What does this package include?
The full WGS conversion package provides the RAW outputs and available chromosome files described above. Check the required read coverage and the service on your order before purchasing.
Can I supply a BAM or CRAM from any provider?
The file must meet the selected order's checks. Standard RAW conversion expects a complete single-person alignment on GRCh37/hg19 or GRCh38/hg38. Provider names alone do not establish compatibility; ask support if the format or reference is uncertain.
Are Y-DNA and mtDNA outputs guaranteed?
No. The corresponding reads must be present and usable. Some CRAM exports, including MyHeritage files described in the existing guide, omit mitochondrial or Y data. Nebula CRAM mitochondrial RAW calls have documented limitations. Review chromosome outputs and predictions in context.
Will the result work on another DNA website?
Each receiving service controls its accepted formats, minimum marker coverage and other rules. Conversion does not guarantee acceptance, a particular match or ancestry result.
Which RAW file should I upload?
Start with the SuperKit file, which has approximately 2.5 million supported markers and the widest compatibility. Use the smaller V5 or V3 file only if a website rejects the SuperKit or asks for that version. Upload the RAW .zip file as it is; the results guide in your download explains each file.
Where do I submit an existing order's file?
Use the file instructions attached to your order. The WGS order area provides eligible upload controls when available. Storing a file in the separate WGS library does not purchase or start a conversion.
How are genetic files handled?
Review the selected upload's processing confirmation, retention notice and Privacy Policy before submitting a file. Requirements and deletion periods can differ by service; retain your original and download results you intend to keep.
