When you open your Genaty raw DNA file

When you open your Genaty raw DNA file, it may appear as a string of letters and numbers. This is normal, as it represents the genetic information encoded in your DNA.it should look a bit like this:

However, if the file opens as an array of unrecognizable symbols or characters, it likely means the file is compressed and needs to be unzipped. Due to the large size of DNA data files, they are often compressed to make them easier to manage and download.


To unzip your file, you will need to install a file extraction program. While you can use any software that suits your needs, our support team often recommends using 7-Zip, which is a free and open-source file archiver. You can download it from their official website: 7-Zip.


Once you have the appropriate software installed, simply use it to open and extract the contents of your DNA file. This will allow you to view the raw data in its standard format.
