Comparing Raw Data from 5 DNA Testing Companies - Blog comment by lkessler - 6 May 2019
Ian: If you’ve already done Ancestry, then I’d recommend 23andMe as the other one which will give you the greatest number of different SNPs to use. Only 13% of Ancestry and 23andMe’s SNPs were in common and you should end up with about 1.1 million SNPs by combining just those two tests. Also you’ll get ...

Combine Kits into One Superkit on GEDmatch Genesis - Blog comment by spmcdonald - 5 May 2019
Could you combine kits from siblings, e.g., uncles, with the same parents to get a “super uncle” kit?

Comparing Raw Data from 5 DNA Testing Companies - Blog comment by ianbd - 4 May 2019
I am wondering if there is a chart or list somewhere showing the actual overlaps, not just the counts? I have already done the Ancestry DNA, but instead of doing all the other ones to make a combined file, Which would be the best two to followup with in order to obtain the greatest total SNP coverage. Right ...

My Whole Genome Sequencing. The VCF File - Blog comment by blzlovr - 2 May 2019
I received my data from Dante Labs and didn't know what to do with it, the medical information was very similar to Genos and Promethease. The kit I bought included mtDNA but couldn't figure out a way to view it so I asked customer service and they added a VCF file. They said I could get the BAM and FastQ ...

WGS Result Files - Blog comment by lkessler - 23 Apr 2019
Kendraz: When I purchased my kit back in August 2018, the hard drive with the BAM and FASTQ files was included free of charge. I did note in November that they started charging $69 extra for the hard drive containing your raw data.
I am purely looking at the short versus long reads for the purpose of ...

Comparing Raw Data from 5 DNA Testing Companies - Blog comment by lkessler - 6 Apr 2019
Sullrich: Yes, that’s an excellent example of how the shared SNPs are very dependent on the chip that is used. Thanks for the offer of SNPs. I’d love to see a sample of Living DNA’s raw data from their new chip.

Comparing Raw Data from 5 DNA Testing Companies - Blog comment by sullrich1 - 5 Apr 2019
Hi Louis,
Thanks for the very interesting and informative post. I recently (March 2019) got my autosomal DNA test results from Living DNA. When I compared the number of shared SNPs between Living DNA, FTDNA and Ancestry, I got different percentage of SNPs shared between them than what you found; ~39% and 23% ...

Genetic Affairs Clustering at 23andMe - Blog comment by shelley - 24 Mar 2019
Hi Louis, I've written about it before (and you even commented on my post!). http://twigsofyore.blogspot.com/2018/03/triangulation-is-icing-not-cake.html.
