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 ...

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.

JStern: Thanks. I recall them having the more detailed breakdown when I originally wrote this blog post. But I'll update it now to reflect the added details.

Wow! That's great news Phillip. Since I retired, programming for genealogy and DNA analysis has more than filled my need for having new challenges and aspirations. I hope you also enjoy the process and get FHS to be the program you always wanted it to be. p.s. I tweeted your news, and included an image of ...

Winz: Yes, AA means father is A and mother is A at that position. I can’t answer your 2nd question yet, because I don’t currently know much about what the whole genome results will provide. I have taken Big Y-500, so hopefully I’ll learn enough to be able to see if I can compare the results in some way.

Vanlaargen. Thanks for the advance warning. Yes, sometimes these company’s time estimates are only as good as a programmer’s time estimates are. :-)

Wayne: FHISO is the current group trying to develop such standards. www.fhiso.org - And Tony Proctor, who is acting chair of FHISO has developed his STEMMA model which is designed as an XML markup language for genealogy. http://stemma.parallaxview.co/

I'm working on DMT 3.0. Trying to allow you to identify what line your triangulation groups are from.

From Ancestry DNA, the DNAGedcom Client can only download the people you match to and the people you are ICW (in common with) along with the total match length. But Ancestry DNA does not have a chromosome browser and does not make individual segment match information available, so there's no segment match data ...

Thanks, Joe. I'm trying to see what capabilities GMP has and if there's any way I might be able to share information to/from it with DMT. I'm not prepared to spend the time right now to go through a 300 page User Guide but I feel fine following Leah's tutorials instead who is as close to a guru on GMP as you ...
