The Life and Death of a DNA Segment - Blog comment by jonathanb - 21 Aug 2019

... start and end points. So when I see "the 15 cM segment", I read "a 15 cM region of DNA, where various matches might share various overlapping bits within that region." Suppose that the 15 cM segment was "born" by combining two segments that were each exactly 7.5 cM long, and suppose that you match someone on the first 7.0 cM of the 15 cM segment. I can't think of any ...

Cdxp: Yes, the parent company of Family Tree DNA is Gene by Gene, and their testing facility in Houston does both Family Tree DNA and MyHeritage. Gene by Gene changed recently to a new chip that allows for some custom selection of SNPs. Family Tree DNA and ...

Combine Kits into One Superkit on GEDmatch Genesis - Blog comment by cdxp - 5 Aug 2019

Are FTDNA and Myheritage using the same testing facility? Some recent advertising and your results suggest a relationship of some kind. I've just purchased DNA tests from both to try and get more coverage than i get from LDNA ...

My Whole Genome Sequencing. The VCF File - Blog comment by lkessler - 13 Jul 2019

Hi Jarett. My interest is more in the genealogical aspects of DNA testing I'm currently working hard to finish and release version 3 of DMT. www.doublematchtriangulator.com - I am not a genomics expert, but I'm learning.

... of an interesting exploration and learning tour that I'm on. I've done my full mtDNA and Y-DNA tests at FTDNA so I've got enough there and have no need to get that data out of my WGS. The VCF Dante supplies surprisingly leaves out the mtDNA variants. but if you copy ...

... 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 now, I am guessing that along with my AncestryDNA, I should do a MyHeritage kit, ...

... 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 files on a hard drive (not sure of the charge on that and hoping they meant USB drive?). I found your blog by googling md
