VCF upload

Upload your whole genome sequencing (WGS) data in VCF format.

Important requirements:
  • Upload a .vcf or .vcf.gz file (.vcf.gz files are preferred as the upload is much faster).
  • High-depth WGS only (≥30x). Low-depth and exome sequencing are not supported.
  • hg38 (GRCh38) aligned.
  • No 23andMe / microarray data.
  • Avoid SV/CNV VCFs (structural/copy-number) — upload the main SNP/indel VCF.
  • Please do not upload any .tbi or .csi index files. We don't need them!
Where can I get a VCF for myself?
Order WGS from:

You can test the pipeline using an example VCF from the 1000 Genomes / GIAB reference sample (“bob”):

After upload: check your predicted ancestry on the Ancestry Estimator. If it looks completely wrong, there may have been QC issues or the wrong file type — ignore results.
