No, you cannot merge RAW files from different people.
Our merging service is designed to combine multiple DNA test files from the same individual only. This is important for several reasons:
Why Merge Your Own Files?
- Increased Coverage: Different testing companies analyze different SNPs
- Better Results: More DNA markers = more accurate analysis
- Comprehensive Data: Combine strengths of multiple tests
- Enhanced Reports: Unlock more detailed ancestry and trait predictions
Valid Merging Scenarios:
- Your 23andMe file + your AncestryDNA file
- Your MyHeritage file + your FTDNA file
- Any combination of your own test files from different companies
How to Merge Your Files:
- Navigate to Store → Services
- Select "Merge RAW Files" service
- Upload 2 or more of your DNA files
- Receive a merged file with maximum SNP coverage
Important: Merging files from different individuals will produce invalid and meaningless results. Each person must have their own separate DNA file.
