23 results are mostly nonsense for genealogy purposes. You get half your genes from each parent. If your mom was half Russian, you can get as much as 50% russian in your results and as little as 0% depending on which genes you happened to get from her (effectively erasing one of your grandparents and doubling the other). While they use multiple markers to reduce this error rate, there aren’t that many markers. Then there is accumulated error across multiple generations. So while it does tell you what your composition is, it doesn’t tell you much about who your great great grandma hosed.

While they use multiple markers to reduce this error rate, there aren’t that many markers. Then there is accumulated error across multiple generations. So while it does tell you what your composition is, it doesn’t tell you much about who your great great grandma hosed. The stuff in the middle of your statement is correct; your ethnicity percentages will vary a lot based on who inherited what bits. If you have a 100% Japanese grandmother, and your other 3 grandparents are white, you could end up with your ethnicity showing 25% Japanese while your sibling could show only 12% Japanese. And then another sibling might show 34% Japanese. The more generations between you and an ancestor, the more the numbers can skew. However, your statements that it's not good for "genealogy purposes" or that it can't tell you who your great great grandma hosed are totally wrong. If all you look at is the ethnicity percentage, then that's not going to get you much. It's actually the best tool out there for genealogy purposes. All of these DNA testing services compare your DNA against the DNA of other people who have tested there. Then they show you a list of the people your DNA matches, and how much DNA you share with each person. Because the amount of DNA you inherit from each ancestor is reliable up to 4 generations back (and still somewhat reliable for a couple generations beyond that), you can compare family trees and figure out how you're related to each person. Close DNA matches to people whose family trees have nothing in common with yours can alert you to the fact that somebody relatively recently is either secretly adopted or has a different father than they think they do. I solved a case just last night where a girl took the Ancestry test for genealogical purposes, and showed up as a roughly 2nd cousin to a family member of mine (on the side that was not related to me). She had messaged me asking if I knew how my family member could be related to her, because she saw nothing in his family tree that was similar to hers. After a few hours of work, it was clear to me that her paternal grandfather was not her bio grandfather, and that her actual bio grandfather was the grandfather of my family member, which makes her a half 1st cousin once removed to him. All I had was her DNA, not the DNA of her parents or grandparents, and it was glaringly obvious. It is a lot of work to do all this though, and becomes harder and harder the farther back in generations you go, since you inherit less DNA from each of those ancestors. But it's literally the only way to solve those questions, because there isn't a paper trail that you can resort to.

Share the data that is shittily anonymized with insurance companies so they can charge us more and find more reasons to deny a claim. "Breast cancer claim denied because you tested positive for BRCA1, BRCA2 and have a defective p53." E: More interesting stuff is lineage markers, mtDNA and y chromosome haplotypes, so you can track where your parents moved about. Azuth0667 fucked around with this message at 01:14 on Nov 5, 2017 |

Azuth0667 posted:Do explain how federal DNA databases work I literally just spoke against people talking about poo poo they don't understand if you want my incomplete layperson's understanding, I can tell you that sections of a human genome are repeated, and the number of repeats varies enough between individuals that measuring them can match a DNA sample to an individual. I can tell you the federal government maintains a database of these counts, called CODIS, collected by state and federal law enforcement agencies (and not centrally tied to personally identifying information because that is illegal), that they can use to match DNA samples to known criminals I can tell you that single nucleotide polymorphism is based on one discrete part of the human genome, a "single nucleotide", which varies between individuals and populations and that this variance is used to identify whether a given variant is tied to a genetic disease or trait. and I can tell you that 23andme uses this information, and not copy-number variation, to get its results this is why I asked the completely reasonable question of why the government would be collecting single nucleotide polymorphisms for their database of short tandem repeats extra stout posted:all those words and you don't even attempt to deny that every government and business in the world gets hacked, robbed, or gladly just sells data I didn't even say your concerns are not legitimate, I JUST want you to frame them as concerns instead of fact, and you can't even do that. instead you're challenging me to DISPROVE what, again, is just a thought that you had.

Kenzie posted:I never did the DNA thing but I voted for Ardi on that poll This legit makes me miss my mom. She had Hirsutism. My dad used to call her his little wolf mama. One of my most vivid childhood memories is of my mother's hairiness. I was maybe seven or eight years old at the time, and my mom was weaning me off of breast feeding. My mom was a straight four on the Ferriman–Gallwey scale when she wasn't depilating, and she'd gotten pretty spotty about it since I wasn't suckling so often. I remember grabbing handfuls of her chest hair to keep myself in place, and no matter what I did, I kept getting hair in my mouth. I'm pretty sure that's why I feel compelled to nuzzle and chew on the woman's hair whenever I'm in a relationship. It's caused a few fights, because I just can't get into sex without a mouthful of my partner's hair. I miss you, mom
