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, but these steps may be helpful if you're on 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 |
