Manual Entry

We strongly urge you to use the CSV file to load your YSEQ results. But if you no longer subscribe or have deleted your account and ONLY have the PDF file (or paper) list of your results, you can manually enter your data.

mtDNA

The process starts when you Create a new Kit and then select the 'Manually Entered' checkbox; 3 new fields appear to allow you to enter your differences from rCRS. Enter each difference separated by one of the allowed delimiters in a string for each of the 3 fields. See the mtDNA Manual Entry HELP page for information on how to enter your data.

Y-DNA

If you have your STR alelle values, don't select a file on 'Choose File' when creating a kit and you will be taken to the Y-DNA Manual Entry screen to enter each DYS number.
