Elizabeth,

I have tested at deCODEme but not 23andME. It is very easy to download the
raw data from deCODEme.
The data is in a text file. Because of the amount of data it is best
examined using database tools such as Access. I don't know of any
spreadsheets that can handle the vast amount data you receive. In my
opinion there is not a big learning curve to gain a working knowledge of
Access.

Can someone bring us up to date on how easy it is for the DNA donor
to download the complete results from the various companies?
Coverage of the Y chromosome is of no use to me, but whether I can
examine the autosomal data for myself in a convenient format would
make a huge difference in which company I go with.
