Which commercial company provides the best raw DNA file for third-party services like Ethnogene etc....?

I tested with LivingDNA and most of these third-parties don't accept their raw data.

I ordered sequencing.com dna kit few days ago.

Do you think it's worth it? Is it really true that they they provide much more accurate genome sequencing and 50 times more data? I'm curious what your results will be and if there's any significant change for example on GEDmatch.

No I doN't do it because of the ancestry test, I want the raw data :D. 23andme was perfect for me.

Not sure if some chips changed

My personal opinion is that Myheritage provides a good raw data but their ancestry report was useless for me (except the Balkan and the Jewish ancestry, seems like they got these right).

MyHeritage calculator is the worst calculator that i've ever seen in my life, but it seems they will update it soon. Not a fan of any of these reports tho, DIY tools are vastly superior imo

The best chip at the moment is the one AncestryDNA uses. FTDNA and MyHeritage changed theirs recently.

Btw I just took that Coronavirus test on Sequencing.com, it says I'm more susceptible to Coronavirus Infection. And my symptoms would pontentially be more severe. Well, damn son. I used to have a bad health when I was younger but now I'm pretty okay/average.

Indeed, just saw they changed past year to GSA which tests 650k snps

Some proteins that make one susceptible to more severe virus symptoms, generated more by immune responses in ones organism than the others. It works like that, I think I was half susceptible or smth like that by genes, don't worry about it .
