About G25 Requests

What we do

G25 Requests converts consumer DNA raw data files into Global25 (G25) coordinates — a set of 25 principal component values that place a genotype in a coordinate space built from population reference data. Researchers, genealogists and hobbyists use them to compare a genotype against ancient and modern reference populations.

You export your own raw autosomal data from the testing provider you already use, upload the compressed file here, pay €15.00, and receive your coordinates by email within 7 days. That is the whole service.

How it works

1. You download your raw data file from your DNA testing provider's website.
2. You compress it to ZIP or GZIP and upload it here, with your name and email address.
3. You pay €15.00 through Stripe's hosted checkout.
4. Your file is converted, run through the Global25 pipeline, and the coordinates are emailed to you.
5. Your file is deleted. We keep no copy of your genotype data.

We also handle VCF, BAM/CRAM, FASTQ and whole datasets on request — email us for a quote, typically €30–€50 depending on the work involved.

What we never ask for

We do not ask for passwords, usernames, or account access to your DNA testing provider or to any other service, and we are not affiliated with, and do not represent, any DNA testing company. You retrieve your own file and upload it yourself. Payment card details are entered on Stripe's own pages and never touch this site.

Security and data handling

A note on reputation filters

Some automated URL classifiers have flagged this domain. It is a small, recently registered site that takes a file upload and a payment, which resembles the shape of a phishing page to a scanner that reads only structure. No phishing content has ever been hosted here, and the specialist phishing feeds — Google Safe Browsing, PhishTank, OpenPhish, Netcraft, Spam404 and URLhaus — all report the domain clean. If your network blocks this site, please point your administrator at this page and at our public business registration.
