Which Girkov Arpa Tools Use 23andMe or G25 Ancestry Data?

Updated

Girkov Arpa's itch.io page lists several small tools built around personal ancestry data: heatmap generators that take G25 or K36 coordinates, and a group of 23andMe utilities covering ancestry visualization, region-relative counts, parental DNA contribution, and relative sorting. Some run directly in the browser; others are paid downloads. The table below maps each tool to its data input and how it's delivered, based on the page listings.

Heatmap tools (G25 / K36 coordinates)

Tool Input Price / delivery
France Heatmap Your G25 coordinates Free, run in browser
Europe Heatmap Your G25 coordinates Free, run in browser
Europe Heatmap PLUS K36 or G25 coordinates $4.99
Genetic Origins Heatmap 23andMe data $4.99

The two free browser tools are the lowest-friction starting point: you supply G25 coordinates and get a heatmap painted onto a map of France or Europe. The PLUS version extends this to K36 coordinates as well and is a paid listing. Genetic Origins Heatmap is the 23andMe-side equivalent, visualizing ancestral origins from your 23andMe export.

23andMe tools

  • Genetic Origins Heatmap ($4.99) — visualizes ancestral origins from 23andMe data.
  • Region Relatives ($3.50) — reveals your region relative counts.
  • Phaser ($4.99) — shows mom's and dad's contributions to your DNA.
  • Relative Browser — sorts relatives by haplogroup, surname, gender, and more; listed as run in browser.

Relative Browser is the only 23andMe tool marked as browser-based; the other three are paid downloads. If you mainly want to explore your relative list, start there before paying for anything.

How to choose

  • You have G25 coordinates and want a quick look: use the free France or Europe Heatmap in the browser.
  • You work with K36 as well, or want more heatmap options: Europe Heatmap PLUS at $4.99.
  • You have a 23andMe export: Genetic Origins Heatmap for origins, Region Relatives for counts, Phaser for parental breakdown, Relative Browser for sorting relatives.
  • You want to try before spending: the free browser tools and Relative Browser are the no-cost entries; the rest carry listed prices of $3.50–$4.99.

Practical notes

These are small, single-purpose utilities rather than a suite, so expect to use several side by side depending on what you want to see. The page does not state file format requirements beyond "23andMe data" and "G25/K36 coordinates," so check each tool's own page for accepted input before downloading. Prices shown are those listed on the page and may change; nothing on the page indicates the paid tools are free or require no login, so treat the listed prices as the current terms.
