23andMe is a private biotech company based in the USA.

23andMe users are encouraged to use Promethease to produce a report based on their raw data; data from all chip versions is suitable. The Ancestry-only product from 23andMe produces exactly the same Promethease report as their Ancestry + Health product.

You can download your raw data, and these tips about how to get your data may be helpful, including for those using an ipad or iphone.


23andMe began offering direct-to-consumer genetic testing in 2007. The chip versions used since then, and the current approximate Promethease report sizes (total number of genotypes out of the 110,000+ in SNPedia) based on them, are as follows:

Chip Base (Illumina) Released Report size
1 Hap550+ 2007 13K
2 Hap550+ Oct 2008 24K
3 OmniExpress+ Nov 2010 26K
4 OmniExpress+ Nov 2013 22K
5 GSA Aug 2017 24K


There was also a developer API, but access to it was restricted (eliminated?) in 2018.
