What is the purpose of converting AncestryDNA file to the 23 and Me format?
James Watson
Hello Mac! There are some third party tools that accept only the 23andMe raw data format. If you happen to have only Ancestry DNA raw data you can convert it to the 23andMe format instead of having to order the genetic test separately from 23andMe. Hope this clarifies.
