How do I download the data from the mtDNA test? I ordered it as a separate test. Can I then upload the results to ancestry or Gedmatch?

You can download the FASTA file from your mtDNA Results page (orange button at the bottom), which you should then be able to open with a simple text program (Notepad for Windows, TextEdit for Mac, etc.). It will read as a bunch of G, A, T and C letters, though, which is not really useful for the average person, IMHO. You could check these threads for more discussion about FASTA files:
You will see in the first link a post that shows you can upload your FASTA file to James Lick's utility for analysis: http://dna.jameslick.com/mthap/
Ancestry.com does not accept transfers or uploads of any kind as far as I know, and neither does 23andMe.
GedMatch only accepts autosomal results (Family Finder, or equivalent from 23andMe or Ancestry, and I think WeGene nowadays).Last edited by KATM; 13 December 2016, 03:30 PM.
