==Opening the DNA data file == Some steps here have easier ways to do this, for instance on 23andMe you can search for a particular gene graphically.<ref name="opening-23andMe">{{Cite web |url = https://customercare.23andme.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004310067-Navigating-Your-Raw-Data|access-date = 2021-04-11 | title = Navigating your raw data |website =23andMe}}</ref> ===Basic steps=== * Download the raw data file and save it. This is likely to be a .zip - a compressed file * Unzip the file to access the uncompressed DNA file by double-clicking on it. Save any files and folders shown. * Look inside what you downloaded for the raw DNA file - typically a text file (.txt) * Either open the file in Excel and choose tab-delimited file ''or'' double-click on the file to open in a text editor. It may be a little slow to open since it's a large file.
