There is exactly one source of official Global25 coordinates, and it is not a testing company and it is not us. Every other route either obtains the official row from that source on your behalf, computes a different row in a space of its own, or simulates one from a calculator's percentages. Those three things are sold under the same four words, so this directory keeps them apart.
I run one of the services below, the Ancestrify Global25 analysis, so every competitor entry is kept to what is readable on the competitor's own site, with "not stated on their site" where it is not. Facts were read on each site on 2026-09-01 and may have changed since.
The three things being sold#
The official row. A single line of 25 numbers produced by projecting your raw DNA file into the Global25 reference space. That space is private to its author, Davidski of the Eurogenes project, so only his G25 Requests portal can place a new sample into it. This is the row every tool in the hobby was built for.
A derived row. Some services compute coordinates from your file in a space of their own construction and call the result G25 coordinates. The numbers look the same, and they work inside that service's own tools, but they are not the official row and will not land where the official row lands against the public reference spreadsheets.
A simulated row. Converter tools take the percentages a calculator produced (a GEDmatch K36 run, for instance) and manufacture a 25-number row from them. The row describes the calculator's output, not your genome. It is free, and it is the most common reason a beginner's distances make no sense.
The free authenticity check reads a row's numeric fingerprint and flags the second and third kinds; it is also embedded on the coordinates page.
G25 Requests (g25requests.app), the official portal#
| What you get | The official scaled and unscaled Global25 rows, by email |
| Input | A raw DNA file from 23andMe, AncestryDNA, MyHeritage, FamilyTreeDNA or Living DNA, compressed to ZIP or GZIP; VCF, BAM, CRAM and FASTQ by email arrangement |
| Price | 15 EUR per kit, as stated on their site |
| Turnaround | Their site states results by email within seven days |
| Notes | Payment on Stripe's hosted checkout; the file is deleted after processing; not affiliated with any testing company or with Ancestrify |
This is route one on every honest guide, including ours. If you only want the row and are happy to wait for the email, order here and paste the scaled row into whichever tools you like afterwards. Our step-by-step guide covers the download path for each testing company.
Ancestrify, the done-for-you route#
| What you get | The same official row from the same portal, obtained on your behalf, plus a complete Global25 analysis the moment it arrives |
| Input | The same raw DNA export, uploaded at checkout instead of pasting a row |
| Price | 15 EUR Coordinate Concierge add-on on top of the 29.99 EUR analysis, one-time; the 15 EUR is a pass-through of the portal's fee |
| Turnaround | Typically two to five days for the coordinates; the analysis runs automatically the moment they arrive |
| Notes | Your explicit consent is asked at checkout before the file is shared; the row is shown in your report and is yours to reuse anywhere |
Ancestrify never computes coordinates. What you are buying is the detour removed: one upload, one consent, and the coordinates and the analysis arrive together. The analysis itself is distances, admixture and PCA across six eras against 1,535 curated populations, with a Personalized Calculator hand-built around your own row as a 10 EUR option. The full route is on how to get your G25 coordinates.
DNAGENICS, a derived row#
| What you get | Genome-wide scaled and unscaled coordinates plus per-chromosome rows, as downloadable text files, computed by their own projection |
| Input | A raw DNA file uploaded to their platform |
| Price | 14 EUR one-time, as stated on their site |
| Turnaround | Not stated on their site |
| Notes | Their methods page describes the output as G25-derived coordinates; the rows are built for their own G25 Studio tools |
The cheapest row on this list and a reasonable one if you intend to stay inside their studio. It is not the official row, and the difference shows the moment you compare against the public reference spreadsheets or paste it into a tool calibrated on official projections.
Genoplot, a simulated row#
| What you get | Geno25 coordinate simulation, free after upload; paid tiers add a yearly allowance of coordinate sets |
| Input | A raw DNA file |
| Price | Free on the Free tier; Basic and Pro tier prices are not stated in currency on the pages read |
| Notes | Their own name for it, Geno25, is the honest tell: a simulation in their space, not the official row |
ExploreYourDNA and converter tools, simulated rows#
ExploreYourDNA publishes a two-step recipe for a free simulated row: run the Eurogenes K36 calculator on GEDmatch, then paste the percentages into their converter. Their own site sends people to the official portal for the real thing, and so do we. Converter tools such as Allelocator advertise the same thing openly: simulated coordinates made from calculator output. None of these rows describes your genome; each describes a calculator.
Side by side#
| Route | Official row | Price | Turnaround | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| G25 Requests portal | Yes | 15 EUR | Up to seven days, by email | Anyone who only wants the row |
| Ancestrify Coordinate Concierge | Yes, same portal | 15 EUR on a 29.99 EUR analysis | Typically two to five days, then the analysis runs | One upload, coordinates and a full analysis together |
| DNAGENICS | No, derived | 14 EUR | Not stated | Staying inside their own studio |
| Genoplot | No, simulated | Free | Not stated | Exploring their tools without the official row |
| ExploreYourDNA and converters | No, simulated | Free | Immediate | Nothing that depends on accuracy |
A checklist for choosing#
- Do you need the official row? If you will use Vahaduo, our Lab, or any tool calibrated on the public reference spreadsheets, yes. A derived or simulated row will mislead every one of them.
- Do you want only the row, or the row and an analysis? Only the row: the portal, 15 EUR. Both: the Concierge route, where the 15 EUR is the same fee passed through and the analysis is ready when the row is.
- Check the file first. The free file check tells you whether your export can support coordinates before anyone charges you.
- Check the row afterwards. Ten seconds in the authenticity check is cheaper than an evening reading distances a rounded paste produced.
