Extension summary

This extension is of little use while most 23andMe functionality, especially the chromosome browser, is disabled. This current release assists in saving some simple data still provided by 23andMe.

Stores your 23andMe DNA Matches in a local database. Allows you to export to other analysis software such as GDAT and Gephi. It also lists shared segments and has a graphical display of overlapping segments shared and not shared between two people.

This is a reworking of the "529 and You" extension that is no longer available. This extension has a different database layout, but it can import csv files that were exported from 529 and You (provided that they included the unique ID code for each person).

User reviews

I have been using 529andYou for several years, and it has been invaluable in my work with my genetic matches, determining how they are related and what DNA I received from my various ancestors. I just discovered this new version, 529Renew, and it looks to be even better.
