Oh and what about genome versions, do they differ?

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?

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?

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 ...

Thanks again. My main problem with GEDCOM's source tags/fields is that genealogists use such a variety of sources that it is nearly impossible to anticipate them using a few fields - even given the flexibility of the PAGE tag. The biggest restraint for me is formatting and punctuation. For example, layered ...
