Genetic Clusters and DNAGedcom - Blog comment by lkessler - 1 Feb 2019

Interesting, Jim. Of course, when someone has mapped as much of their chromosomes as you have, you're a step up on most of us and can leverage that data with other tools. So it is good to know that you found clustering useful on top of everything else you've done.

Genetic Clusters and DNAGedcom - Blog comment by jimbartlett - 1 Feb 2019

Louis, I used the Genetic Affairs method with a download from DNAGedcom. My matrix includes the Notes field from my AncestryDNA Matches. In those Notes I've entered a code for every Common Ancestor I've found (ex: 36P/4C1R) and/or every Match with segment data (from GEDmatch or another company) - an example of ...

Thank you Jonathan for your comment, and for creating your Shared Clustering tool. See my next blog post Comparing Genetic Clusters that compares the specific results. I use the 8 people who I know "on paper" how I'm related to, to evaluate the assignment similarities and differences between yours and the ...

Genetic Clusters and DNAGedcom - Blog comment by lkessler - 23 Jan 2019

I do recall, Leah, last summer I tried RootsFinder's their very innovative 3D visualization of triangulations. They even the ability to associate the triangulation "blobs" (if I may call them that) with an ancestor and color them. But that functionality is not possible for AncestryDNA where you do not have ...

Comparing Genetic Clusters - Blog entry by lkessler - 22 Jan 2019

In my last post, I described how I obtained my results from three Genetic Clustering tools: Genetic Affairs – by Evert-Jan Blom Collins’ Leeds Method 3D – at DNAGedcom Shared Clustering – by Jonathan Brecher Pretty pictures are nice to look at. But what we really want is to be able ...

Yes, Shared Clustering reads both the m_ and icw_ files. There's some discussion in the documentation. There used to be more, but I got a bunch of questions quickly from people confused about which file to use where. I simplified it all so that you specify one file and the program finds the other on its ...

Have you checked out RootsFinder? It creates two different types of clustering visuals and has filters. So many great options!

Genetic Clusters and DNAGedcom - Blog entry by lkessler - 20 Jan 2019

Over the past 6 months, everyone has been jumping on board using genetic clustering techniques to help them partition their DNA matches into their ancestral origins. The basic idea is to compare all the people that each of your DNA matches also match to. These are not segment matches being compared, but are ...

DNA Analysis Summary 2018 - Blog comment by lkessler - 29 Dec 2018

Joe, that's because I've never got into Visual Phasing as I have no sets of siblings that have tested with whom I'd be able to use the technique. But yes, for those who have 3 siblings or more, Visual Phasing is a great tool.

Hi Louis, I'm quite surprised that I don't see Steven Fox'es terrific Visual Phasing Excel based tool in your listing. Joe
