Thank you for the response.
My feelings abo...n/a,<br /><br />Thank you for the response.<br /><br />My feelings about the analysis are also similarly positive. What I found to be most impressive was that 23andMe's Global Similarity Advanced View was able to correctly identify what I understood to be my dominant ethnic background (based on family genealogical records). All that from a spit sample!<br /><br />Of course, I'll be interested to read your summary of the technical details once they become available to you.notuswindnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227780861638767023.post-33720969885926520362009-04-22T21:36:00.000+01:002009-04-22T21:36:00.000+01:00history is only biography.history is <B>only</B> biography.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227780861638767023.post-46966053249893999382009-04-22T19:13:00.000+01:002009-04-22T19:13:00.000+01:00Short answer: I like it.

Especially in combination with Global Similarity Advanced View. <br /><br />I would like to see more technical details, but it's clear that of the commercial autosomal ancestry testing options available, only 23andMe consistently gives plausible results. <br /><br />Decodeme test more markers, but only use around <A HREF="http://racehist.blogspot.com/2008/03/details-on-decodeme-admixture-analysis.html" REL="nofollow">18000</A> SNPs in their admixture analysis. 23andMe supposedly use all 500000+ SNPs for Ancestry Painting. Probably more importantly, Decodeme's algorithm <A HREF="http://racehist.blogspot.com/2008/09/admixture-analysis-23andme-vs-decodeme.html" REL="nofollow">systematically overreports</A> non-European ancestry in Europeans, while the overwhelming majority of whites are reported 100% European by 23andMe. I also expect 23andMe will devote more resources to improving their offerings in this arena than Decodeme.<br /><br />(The other players in this market don't even deserve mention: DNAprint was crap and is now thankfully dead. DNAtribes is even more useless DNAprint.)n/ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02378473351485233448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227780861638767023.post-5192879287444842682009-04-22T04:02:00.000+01:002009-04-22T04:02:00.000+01:00n/a,
