Free taster

Tested somewhere else? See your Malaysian family lines, free.

Upload the raw DNA file from another test. We read your mother line, and your father line if you are a man, and show how common each is among Malaysians we have tested.

Coming soon

Opening soon. The free taster will read a DNA file from another test. Until then, a home kit opens your own family lines.

What you get

1

Your mother line

Passed from mother to child. Everyone has one.

2

Your father line

Passed from father to son, so only men have one. If you are a woman, a father, brother or uncle can test.

How common it is

How many of the Malaysians we have tested belong to the same family.

What happens to your file

  • It goes straight to a small reading service, not to a shared drive or an email.
  • It is read once, in memory. Nothing is saved to disk.
  • It is erased when your answer is ready, usually within a minute.
  • We keep only the small result: your two lines and a few counts. Never the file, never the letters of your DNA.
  • We follow Malaysia's Personal Data Protection Act. Genetic data is sensitive, so we ask you to say yes first.

Which tests work

  • 23andMeMother line and father line both work.
  • AncestryDNAFather line usually works. Mother line: too few markers for a sure answer.
  • MyHeritageFather line usually works. Mother line: too few markers for a sure answer.
  • FamilyTreeDNAMother line: too few markers for a sure answer. Father line: not in this file.
  • Living DNAMother line works. Father line usually works.

How well a file works depends on how many of our markers your test carries. When a file has too few, we say so and never guess.

Laboratory standards

Our DNA tests are run with our laboratory partners. These are the standards they work to.
