About Genomelink

Genomelink is a DNA App Store. If you’ve taken a DNA test from Ancestry or 23andMe, you can upload your data to Genomelink to unlock a wide range of DNA apps: a 2,000+ region ancestry breakdown, insights from 400+ ancient DNA samples, analysis of 350+ genetic traits, unique DNA matches, and more.

Explore our latest genealogy app, YourRoots (https://yourroots.com/), which transforms your family tree into an interactive global map visualization.

We believe consumer genomics today is where the internet was in the 1990s. Over 50 million people in the U.S. have already tested their DNA, and this number will grow into the billions globally in the coming decades. Genomelink aims to become the default DNA data hub and app store for this genomic future.

Our mission:

  • Build the world’s #1 platform for consumer genomics apps
  • Help people discover their family roots and unite the world
  • Create an infruscrucure for consumer genomics
