Combine Kits into One Superkit on GEDmatch Genesis - Blog comment by lkessler - 5 Aug 2019

Cdxp: Yes, the parent company of Family Tree DNA is Gene by Gene, and their testing facility in Houston does both Family Tree DNA and MyHeritage. Gene by Gene changed recently to a new chip that allows for some custom selection of SNPs. Family Tree DNA and MyHeritage have different custom SNPs, with MyHeritage ...

Combine Kits into One Superkit on GEDmatch Genesis - Blog comment by cdxp - 5 Aug 2019

Are FTDNA and Myheritage using the same testing facility? Some recent advertising and your results suggest a relationship of some kind. I've just purchased DNA tests from both to try and get more coverage than i get from LDNA but perhaps that is duplication.

My Whole Genome Sequencing. The VCF File - Blog comment by lkessler - 13 Jul 2019

Jarett, no, I wrote all the code myself. Double Matching is a technique I've never seen used before, so I'm discovering new ways to utilize it as I go.

Finally, Interesting Possibilities to Sync Your Data - Blog comment by lkessler - 9 Jul 2019

mjashby: You make some good points. I think the GEDCOM export inaccuracies of Ancestry are their mistake, and if a connection is made with an online database, the connecting program in no way their mistake but attempt to do it correctly. If the online database stores things inappropriately, then conversion ...

Finally, Interesting Possibilities to Sync Your Data - Blog comment by mjashby - 8 Jul 2019
