What is the difference between the raw data and GEDmatch

The raw data file contains all the genetic markers our algorithm used to compare DNA to our genetic database,. The purpose in providing you with the raw data is for you to get additional reports and insights from third parties like GEDmatch (https://www.gedmatch.com ) and Living DNA (https://livingdna.com/). We especially promote GEDmatch as it is a centralised place for everyone to upload their data regardless of the testing company. In addition, you can upload your data to XCODE Life (https://www.xcode.life/), which offers other health insights reports at an additional cost.
