Triangulation does NOT mean IBD - Blog comment by thednageek - 26 Sep 2017
Louis, you said "One of the techniques I’m looking at is to start big (as far as segments go) with the largest triangulations and work your way back in time by finding smaller segments with triangulations of additional people."
I'm curious how successful you've been with that. Yes, a "pileup" segment might ...

thednageek: I think Ann beat you by a couple of minutes regarding 23andMe, so I had to give her credit for that update.
Re your 3rd possibility: Whether a segment is from a recent common ancestor or a distant common ancestor, it's still the same segment from the same ancestor that all the people in the ...

Triangulation does NOT mean IBD - Blog comment by thednageek - 25 Sep 2017
There is a third possibility: Triangulated segments could be identical by descent, but not by descent from a recent common ancestor. This most often happens in endogamous populations, where individuals are related to one another multiple ways. For example, you and a match may have identified your most recent ...

Quick note: At 23andMe, you don't need to ask one of the matches to confirm that they share a segment in the same place. You can compare them directly to one another from your own account.

Done and Onward - Blog comment by jbissett - 5 Jun 2017
Answers a lot of my questions that I sent in earlier via other means. DMT is amazing as version 1.3. I can't wait to run 1.5. And then I will bug you about the updates you envision. :-)
I will also be trying out Behold. It also looks amazing. I wonder why it took me so long to find it, especially since ...

What RootsTech was Like for an Innovator Showdown Finalist - Blog comment by lkessler - 21 Feb 2017
We'll likely get to meet again Tony, somewhere, sometime. I don't go to RootsTech each year. I previously was there in 2012 and 2014. I usually need a good reason to go, and not being there for 3 years was my good reason.

What RootsTech was Like for an Innovator Showdown Finalist - Blog comment by acproctor - 19 Feb 2017
