Your DNA Raw Data May Have Changed - Blog comment by jwlong - 30 Nov 2021

Have you looked closely at the y DNA data from 23andme or ancestry to see how often those snps have changed in a material way? Those would have greater consequences for genealogy where folks are leaning in those results to compare haplogroups. Thanks for the interesting post!

Your DNA Raw Data May Have Changed - Blog comment by lkessler - 21 Nov 2021

Yinwang: I compared both by RSID and by position. In one comparison between two files, for example, I noted to myself that 299 RSIDs had changed at the same position, and that 3 RSIDs had different positions. But mentioning that in the article would have been off-topic and would only have complicated what I ...

Oh and what about genome versions, do they differ?

Your DNA Raw Data May Have Changed - Blog comment by yinwang888 - 20 Nov 2021

Very nice write up. Thanks! Do you think it's possible that some of the changes you observe are because of changes in the underlying rsid SNP database? I have in my own research sometimes stumbled on SNP rsids that where merged or renamed. Do you make your comparisons based on rsid or position?

Comparing Raw Data from 5 DNA Testing Companies - Blog comment by tsturg - 1 Nov 2021

I just recently purchased a 23andMe kit. I came across this article as I searched for information on how it compares to other DNA kits. Do you have an update on getting your full genome back and being able to compare your combined SNP’s?

Can GEDCOM 7.0 Succeed? - Blog comment by acproctor - 20 Oct 2021

In principle. HTML defines the structure of the text (paragraphing, footnotes, etc) and it would be up to some CSS to style it -- "punctuation" is essential in anything worth reading, and so I'm guessing that the wrong word was chosen above. However, a possibility that isn't mentioned anywhere that I can see ...

Genealogists: Do Your Biographies! - Blog comment by uwem - 2 Jul 2021

Hi Louis, FWIW: neither "Leib" nor "Braunstein" are Hebrew. These names are of German origin, meaning "Body" and "Brown Stone/ Rock". -Uwe
