Important Information
Technical Details & Limitations
MTDNA Information from Nebula Genomics
The MTDNA data within Nebula Genomics' CRAM files cannot be accurately converted into a RAW file, which means:
- Predictions from genealogy third-party websites will not be accurate for MTDNA
- However, the MTDNA FASTA and BAM files are correctly generated
- The MTDNA haplogroups in the MTDNA.txt file are reliably predicted
INDELs Limitations
INDELs (insertions and deletions) have specific limitations:
- INDELs are not accurately converted into RAW files
- Any Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) representing an INDEL may be incorrect
- This limitation is inherent to the conversion process from WGS to RAW format
Whole Exome Sequencing Considerations
If your test is a Whole Exome Sequencing, please note:
- Lower coverage compared to Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS)
- Resulting RAW files will contain fewer genotyped SNPs
- Files may not be accepted by some third-party websites
- Ancestry estimates could be less accurate than a RAW file from a WGS analysis
FTDNA BIGY Files
For FTDNA BIGY files, the service provides:
- Only YDNA prediction
- A VCF file containing the SNPs found in the BAM/CRAM file
- Limited to YDNA data as this analysis only provides Y chromosome information
This service is intended for ancestry and genealogy research purposes only. Not suitable for health-related uses.
How to Submit Your Files

Legal Disclaimer
By using our genomic data service, you acknowledge and agree to the following terms and conditions:
- PURPOSE This service is intended solely for ancestry and genealogy research purposes. It is not designed, intended, or suitable for health-related uses or medical purposes.
- NO HEALTH PREDICTIONS We explicitly disclaim any responsibility for health predictions or interpretations made from the files provided through this service. Users are strictly prohibited from using our converted data for medical or health-related purposes.
- DATA ACCURACY While we strive for accuracy in our imputation process, please be aware of the following limitations: - The imputation process can lead to an error rate of genotypes ranging from 1% to 5%, due to the statistical nature of the process. It is not advisable to utilize the imputed file for health predictions, as there is a chance of encountering false positives/negatives.
- THIRD-PARTY USE The compatibility of our imputed files with third-party DNA websites is provided as-is. We do not guarantee the acceptance or proper functioning of our files on all external platforms.
- DATA PRIVACY We prioritize the security of your genetic data and provide a link for you to download your imputed data directly from your private account. However, we cannot guarantee absolute security during transmission or storage on your end.
- NO WARRANTY This service is provided "as is" without any warranties, express or implied. We do not guarantee the completeness, reliability, or accuracy of the converted data.
- LIMITATION OF LIABILITY We shall not be held liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or exemplary damages resulting from your use of this service or the data provided.
- USER RESPONSIBILITY You are solely responsible for how you use the imputed data. We strongly recommend consulting with qualified professionals for any health-related concerns or interpretations of genetic data.
- COMPLIANCE Users must comply with all applicable laws and regulations regarding the use and sharing of genetic information in their jurisdiction.
- CHANGES TO SERVICE We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of this service without prior notice.
- By proceeding with our service, you indicate that you have read, understood, and agreed to these terms. If you do not agree with any part of this disclaimer, please do not use our service.
