MyHeritage raw data analysis

Re-read your MyHeritage DNA file without it leaving the EU

MyHeritage gave you ethnicity estimates and relatives. The same raw genotype file also carries clinical and pharmacogenomic variants worth reading properly. Re-analyse the file you already own against current evidence, processed and stored in Finland, attributed to every source.

This page is about the MyHeritage raw data export, and both eras of it work here. Kits sold since October 2025 are sequenced rather than typed on a chip, and they still hand you an export in the same format. Two differences worth knowing about the newer one: its genotypes are worked out from the sequencing rather than read straight off an array, and the file carries no Y chromosome, so there is no paternal line in it. Not sure which you have? Open it on the file check page. It runs in your browser, nothing is uploaded, and it names the file you hold.

A European service for a file you already own

Aimosti is based in Finland and keeps your data inside the EU, which matters if data sovereignty is part of why you tested with MyHeritage in the first place. We don't sequence you again; we re-interpret the raw genotype file MyHeritage produced, against today's ClinVar, ACMG and CPIC, and return a report you keep. Which variants your particular file carries depends on the chip version it was typed on, so the coverage matrix lists every gene and condition we examine, by name, before you pay.

How to download your MyHeritage DNA raw data

  1. Sign in at MyHeritage and open the DNA menu, then Manage DNA kits.
  2. For your kit, open its options and choose Download (MyHeritage walks you through a short consent step).
  3. Confirm; MyHeritage emails you a secure download link.
  4. Follow the link to get the raw file (a zipped .csv/.txt). That archive is what we re-analyse, so store it somewhere private.

Why coverage varies between MyHeritage kits

MyHeritage genotyping arrays read a fixed panel of positions, and the exact set has changed across chip versions, so coverage of specific pharmacogenomic variants varies from file to file. The export itself is comma-separated with every field quoted, and it carries no build line, so we read what your file states rather than assume a build for it. The recessive-carrier panel is different again: it needs sequencing data, and no array version delivers it.

Whichever version you have, the handling is the same. We attribute every finding to a primary source, and we never impute: a position your chip didn't read reaches your report as a no-call, with no statistical guess put in its place. Structural variation is beyond any array: CYP2D6 copy-number is the standing example, so where a metaboliser status would be uncertain we mark it indeterminate.

For coverage beyond any raw-data export, a whole-genome re-analysis goes deeper. That tier reads a VCF or gVCF from a provider who sequenced you at full depth, such as Nebula or Dante. MyHeritage's own sequencing file is not that: it reads your genome about twice over rather than thirty times, which is why they work the missing genotypes out statistically before handing you the export. It is a good file for what this page describes and the wrong substrate for a clinical-findings panel, so we do not sell you one against it.

Your file does not leave the EU

Processing and storage are in Finland, under GDPR Article 9 special-category protection, and nothing crosses an EU border. MyHeritage emailed you the archive; the copy you upload here is deleted after analysis by default, and no genome is held on this side that a court could sell. Security & your data.

Aimosti performs a bioinformatic re-analysis of data you already own. We never take a sample, sequence, test, or diagnose. Every finding is a literature match to confirm with a clinician, not a diagnosis.

The cheaper option, and what it costs later

Promethease and Genetic Genie read the same public databases we do. The difference is time. They hand you a report frozen on the day you run it, read from the few hundred thousand positions a genotyping chip types. We read your whole genome where you have it, attribute every finding to the guideline it came from, and can re-read your file as those guidelines change. Your report is a one-off purchase and stays yours. Keeping it current as the guidelines move is the optional re-analysis subscription, and you can start or stop that whenever you like.

Named services are described from their public product pages; features change and we don't speak for them. Three years later, that report still says exactly what it said on the day you ran it.

One re-analysis is €19, whichever MyHeritage chip version your file came from.
