What tellmeGen does
tellmeGen is a Spain-based DNA testing company offering a comprehensive test kit that covers health predisposition, pharmacogenomics, carrier status, wellness traits, and ancestry in a single package. Their all-in-one approach includes more health categories than most consumer tests.
Key features
- All-in-one DNA test kit (health + ancestry + pharma + carrier)
- Health predisposition for 200+ conditions
- Pharmacogenomics for 150+ drugs
- Carrier status for 40+ monogenic diseases
- Wellness and trait reports
- Ancestry with ethnic breakdown
Health analysis: how they differ
tellmeGen requires purchasing their own test kit — they don't accept raw data uploads from other companies. So if you already have 23andMe or AncestryDNA data, you'd need to take a new test. Their health reports are broad but may lack the clinical database depth (ClinVar screening, PharmGKB annotations) of dedicated interpretation services. Primarily Spanish/European user base.
Your DNA Unlocked takes a different approach: transparent clinical databases (ClinVar with 341,000+ classified variants, PharmGKB for drug-gene interactions), detailed pharmacogenomics (CYP2D6, CYP2C19, CYP2C9, CYP3A4, CYP1A2), methylation pathway analysis (MTHFR, COMT, MTRR), and a structured health protocol with specific recommendations.
The bottom line
tellmeGen offers an impressively broad all-in-one test kit. If you already have raw data from another provider, Your DNA Unlocked lets you get comprehensive health analysis without buying a new test, using clinical-grade databases for interpretation.
Who should use which
Choose tellmeGen if:
- You haven't taken a DNA test yet and want broad health + ancestry coverage in one kit
- You want built-in pharmacogenomics and carrier screening with your initial test
- You're based in Europe or prefer a European company
Choose Your DNA Unlocked if:
- You already have raw DNA data and want deep health analysis
- You want detailed pharmacogenomics (how your genes affect medication response)
- You want comprehensive disease risk screening against ClinVar
- You want an actionable health protocol with supplement, diet, and monitoring guidance
Frequently asked questions
Do I need tellmeGen to use Your DNA Unlocked?
No. Your DNA Unlocked accepts raw data from 23andMe, AncestryDNA, and other major testing companies. You need a raw data file from some provider, but it doesn't have to be tellmeGen.
Can I use both?
In many cases, yes. If tellmeGen generates raw data you can download, you can upload it to Your DNA Unlocked for additional health analysis. The services can complement each other.
What if I already have data from a different company?
Your DNA Unlocked works with raw data from 23andMe, AncestryDNA, and other major providers. You don't need to switch to or buy from tellmeGen.
