I have a DNA file from tellmeGen and was wondering whether I can convert the file to an ancestryDNA, FTDNA, MyHeritage or similar file format in order to upload it to myHeritage, FTDNA or DNA.Land for further investigation?
The DNA file from tellmegen
is a csv
file and has the following first six lines (separated by a space):
# rsid chromosome position genotype
rs991757223 1 100177980 DD
rs967277439 1 108681808 DD
1KG_1_109440678 1 109440678 DD
rs750385149 1 109479801 DD
rs780371591 1 110655430 DD
However, if I change the above csv
to txt
with a simple text editor (on a mac
if this matters) and change the header (here in the FTDNA version) the upload to any of the above websites does not function.
I use this table to guide me with the output format (via http://www.beholdgenealogy.com/blog/?p=2700).
This would be an example for the first two lines in a FTDNA file format:
RSID,CHROMOSOME,POSITION,RESULT
"rs991757223","1","100177980","DD"
However, it seems that simply adding the header and change the data output format does not function. Why? How can I adjust my DNA file so that I can upload it to other DNA websites?
P.S.: I was only able to upload the original file from tellmeGen to GEDMatch without any adjustments.
Edit:
After ordering the file by group (column 2), the order of the data looks (abbreviated) like this:

Shall I remove the "noise" of the first lines?
