I have installed the test version of RM4. I tried to test the new DNA test functionality, but this needs a purchase before.
The screen in the help look fine, but is anyone able to help me out if the data is exported via GEDCOM and if yes with a sample how this looks like in the GEDCOM?
Thanks for your help.

I did not have a gedcom to import DNA info. Just typed it in. Easy to do as each company that does the DNA has different scenarios for the layout .....

And now as you have your DNA data in can you export it in a GEDCOM and send to a relative? You can easily check this by doing a selective export of a person who is having a DNA test and then importing in a newly created rootsmagic database. Is the data of the DNA test there?

I have tested exporting a GEDCOM and using drag n' drop to a new database and the DNA information does not carry over. I have entered this bug into our tracking system for resolution.

You might find these SQLite queries I developed of some interest and indicative of some potential for DNA data exchange. At least, the data is not unretrievable.
