You can now subscribe to DNA Painter and unlock powerful visualizations and calculations:
- Create multiple probability trees with WATO plus — Investigate family mysteries and use the birth year of the parent in order to refine your DNA-based hypotheses about how a tester might fit into a family tree.
- Create multiple ancestral trees — Create a new tree for any ancestor in your tree with a click in order to view *their* DNA inheritance paths and pedigree collapse.
- Experiment with different chromosome mapping approaches — Have up to 50 chromosome maps
- Identify trends and common matches — Access subscriber-only bulk processing tools allowing import of custom segment lists and match lists
- Enjoy extra flexibility — Assemble groups of matches in your favourite spreadsheet application and import these directly into a DNA Painter chromosome map

Quick Subscription FAQ
- What happens after my subscription expires?
- A subscription is required to create additional WATO plus trees, ancestral trees and chromosome maps beyond your first map, to access the bulk import functionality and to import your entire ancestral pedigree from a GEDCOM. If your subscription expires, you will retain all your trees and maps but won't be able to use segment import functionality or create additional trees or maps until you have renewed.
- I already have more than one chromosome map/tree; does this mean I have to pay?
- No, you do not need to subscribe to retain full access to existing maps and trees.
- What kind of files can be used in the bulk import?
- The bulk import can currently process the following types of file:
- segment data files from FamilytreeDNA and MyHeritage **
- segment data from Gedmatch's Tier 1 'Matching segment search' tool
- exported DNA Painter chromosome maps (the CSV file from 'All segment data')
- segment data from any other source, provided it is set out in with set column headers.
