I was pleasantly surprised today when I logged into my 23andMe account today to check something and I found a new option to export all my data. It’s about 5 megs in size compressed, and is in a tab delimited format. Here are the first 30 or so lines of my data file:
# This data file generated by 23andMe at: Wed Jan 23 09:48:03 2008 # # Below is a text version of your data. Fields are TAB-separated # Each line corresponds to a single SNP. For each SNP, we provide its identifier # (an rsid or an internal id), its location on the reference human genome, and the # genotype call oriented with respect to the plus strand on the human reference # sequence. We are using reference human assembly build 36. Note that it is possible # that data downloaded at different times may be different due to ongoing improvements # in our ability to call genotypes. # # More information on reference human assembly build 36: # http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/projects/mapview/map_search.cgi?taxid=9606&build=36 # # rsid chromosome position genotype rs3094315 1 742429 AG rs12562034 1 758311 GG rs3934834 1 995669 CC rs9442372 1 1008567 AG rs3737728 1 1011278 AG rs11260588 1 1011521 GG rs6687776 1 1020428 CC rs9651273 1 1021403 AA rs4970405 1 1038818 AA rs12726255 1 1039813 AA rs11807848 1 1051029 CC
I also saw that 23andMe has launched a blog called the spittoon.
You can feed that data into
Promethease to learn more about your genotypes.
OK. That’s cool and all but it should have been in Atom 1.0 😛
