In other words, customer\u2019s A\u2019s, C\u2019s, G\u2019s and T\u2019s in the evaluated DNA positions. &nbsp;That is why is called raw data format, because this type of file needs to be processed in order to extract meaningful information. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Raw data files are usually in a human readable format, text format, where each row represents:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a DNA position (also called DNA marker) with the information about the marker name, that typically is a standard name used by researchers to identify a specific site (or a company internal identifier)<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the exact genomic location in human genome<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">customer\u2019s genotype, that is, the specific variants (A, C, G or T) for that marker. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Number of evaluated positions varies across provider companies and the purpose of the test. <strong>Most popular tests analyze over 600.000 positions<\/strong>. In case of full genome sequencing all genome is analyzed so raw files contain information about 3 billion sites. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Providers alert their clients that these <strong>raw data files are <\/strong><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>only for research or education and are not suitable for medical purposes<\/strong>, such as diagnosing a disease and that may also contain false positive results, that are wrong genotyped positions that could affect further analysis with this data.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many companies make <strong>raw data files<\/strong> available for their customers. They <strong>can be downloaded from DNA test provider\u2019s websites<\/strong> or requesting a download link. &nbsp;It\u2019s important to note that once customers download and store raw data files in their devices, these are <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">no longer protected by the original service\u2019s privacy measures.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What to do with DNA raw data files?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Considering the nature of raw data files and the necessity of a specialized process to extract information from these files, their <strong>interpretation can be challenging for customers<\/strong>. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To help with this task, many of <strong>third-party services<\/strong> are offered on app stores or via the Internet with a variety of purposes: <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">predictions about health (for example, <strong>Genomapp<\/strong>)<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">traits<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">fitness and nutrition reports<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">etc<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These services empower users to research and obtain personalized information about their genome and to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">be more proactive about their health, and promote awareness of genetic diseases. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But they also have the same risks as DTC companies that must be taken into account: <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">reports may include unexpected information that can cause anxiety or stress <\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">they could include false positive or errors in the results <\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">they might be difficult to understand without guidance<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When choosing a third-party tool or a DTC test, it is important to assess accuracy of the results and find out how it protects users privacy and genetic information.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the most popular apps for analyzing DNA raw data files is <a href=\"https:\/\/genomapp.com\"><strong>Genomapp<\/strong><\/a>.
