- A second email follows shortly with the actual download link.
- Save the
.zipfile (about 6 MB) — keep it private.
What's in the file?
The .zip contains a CSV named MyHeritage_raw_dna_data.csv with ~700,000 SNPs in rsid · chromosome · position · result format. We accept either the.zip or extracted .csv directly.
Heads-up
- The two-email confirmation is intentional — protects against unauthorized export.
- If the second email never arrives, check Promotions / Spam and add
noreply@myheritage.comto contacts. - The export link expires — re-request from the same menu if needed.
Privacy reminder
Same posture as the other genome uploads: in-memory processing on EU servers, raw originals deleted within 24 hours by S3 lifecycle.
