DNA Sequencing Megathread! Neanderthals, Denisovans and other ancient DNA!

[Caliga]

Hey Cal, are ancestry and 23and me the only two you've done?

I have only done Ancestry in the sense that I spit in a tube and mailed them the tube.

I've also run my results through FTDNA, GEDMatch, and Promethease.

One of my friends at work has done 23 and me and let me log in to her account and look at her results to get an idea of what 23 and me offers.

23 and me is more expensive, but it's probably better for anything other than ancestry research.

[Razgovory]

Oh, SPIT in the tube.  I hope they don't get mad when they found out what I did...

My brother did 23andMe back when they were still doing their semi-BS medical risk assessments. I regret not doing it at the time, since he and I have different eye colors, so probably different X chromosomes.

Was just asking as FTDNA is in process of updating their my origins page with better breakdown of ancestry.
from their new update I really am related to Siegy

Interesting, do you know when it will be done or if it's done already?

I just checked and I forget what it said about me before, but now it thinks I am 53% British Isles, 22% West and Central Europe, 16% Iberia, 4% Scandinavia, <2% Eastern Europe, and <2% Southeast Europe.

They just started switching over yesterday, i know 4/5 of the tests my family has done have been updated.
Mine follows.

British Isles 13%
East Europe 8%
Finland 0%
Scandinavia 0%
Southeast Europe 6%
Iberia 30%
West and Central Europe 13%

North and Central America 18%
South America 0%

Ashkenazi 0%
Sephardic 9%

Wow. You really are the DNA of Texas Katmai.

[derspiess]

Waiting for Ancestry DNA to process my sample.  I'm interested to see how the Genetic Communities thing plays out.

[katmai]

Wow. You really are the DNA of Texas Katmai.

I didn't even show you the <2% traces

East Central Africa < 2%
North Africa < 2%
South Central Asia < 2%
Siberia < 2%

For mine it showed two that knew (Latinos in Northeastern Mexico/South Texas, and Settlers of Colonial Penn) the revelation was Irish in Mayo & Sligo which will help in narrowing down where my Irish ancestors came from.

Siberia < 2%

Siberia makes sense since that's where the Native Americans originated.

thank you private obvious.

So mean to me, I'm quitting Languish for twice as long as Ed Anger!
