I used Ancestry in the past but didn't really get much info, basically I'm Mediterranean which I know I am since that's where I grew up and links to some random 6th degree cousins which TBH could be anyone given that I'm from a country with a total population of ~4M. I ended up downloading my data and canceling my Ancestry service since I wasn't comfortable with how that data could potentially be used in the future (one term of services change from sketchy stuff happening). Question to people here, what can I do with this data I've downloaded? Data was surprisingly small, just 5MB - with 5 rows: rsid, chromosome, position, allele 1, allele 2. Is there any OSS software I can run on my machine to learn something useful about myself?

Go here : https://www.ebi.ac.uk/gwas/docs/file-downloads https://www.ebi.ac.uk/gwas/docs/file-downloads Agree to the EuroBS cookie thing then Download the tsv file and load into a spreadsheet. Then search for your "rs*" ids. (rsid is the canonical SNP, single nucleotide polymorphism, identification number ) Example "rs id" looks like rs2179129. Duckduck the rs id if you want more info. If you know a programming language, you can automate processing of the file you got from dna info provider and the the gwas catalog file from NHGRI.
