Always encourage people to be sure to read any site's user agreement. There are some companies in some places that may make your data available to others, such as a government, without your permission. Also, I am a fierce critic of what I call _identity shopping_ , and the idea of "ethnicity" as so many companies call their algorithm output. Identity shopping is the desire of people to feel they need to be identified as _such and such_ for some other purpose than actual family history. Third party sites for DNA upload can help one with research on one's family history. But finding matches is often not what people desire, as they seek identities.

[@edwartvonfectonia4362]

I am actually a person who is identity shops. As I have had low self-esteem and purpose, finding my ancestry (maybe I am a different ethnicity) is at least something I can grab and hold on to.

What I was even happier to see is that some of the smaller dna amount results were added (they weren’t added in with the other three major company’s dna test results) and I needed proof of a certain dna connection in order to make sense of some Family connections. I’m still learning how the site works but I was up all night reading all the cool information that initially popped up. I want to try some of the other sites you mentioned as well! I was hesitant about dna tests in general but I’ve come to the realization that governments either probably already have my dna or can get it very easily as many times as I’m hospitalized lol.

[@asdf-un9gs]

Hi. I'm a genealogy nerd, but the only thing keeping me from using these services is the privacy. There have been cases where the US government has demanded DNA data (and other stuff, like private conversations) to be used in crime related purposes. For instance, we have the recent case where a private conversation between a mother and a daughter was spied and used as a proof that she had an abortion (which had recently made illegal). And I'm not even American. Is there a way to use that information in a totally anonymous way, and making sure that the company does not store a copy of the data you uploaded? DNA is the most private thing we have, and I think we have to be very very careful with whom has access to it.

What’s your deep dive? On Mytrueancestry, civilization breakdown are just groups that share your overall makeup, meaning it’s useful for deciphering the populations your ancestors fell into. Whereas deep dive gives you your exact ancestor, which is more conclusive. As well as deep dive is a measure of which ancestor effects your snps, in which, snps effect things such as your phenotypes (what you look like) and your health. Which can show different results than your civilization breakdown. Mine, for example, my civilization breakdown is very British Isles Celtic,but my direct effect and snps are very heavily Scandinavian. Which with the York Gladiator sample, we know that Scandinavian dna found it’s way into the isles a couple of hundred years, before the Anglo-Saxon migration and around five hundred years before the Viking Age

I first did an ancestry test on MyHeritage and after I recieved my results are was partly surprised as I expected most of it. I later found out on google that you could upload the raw data from MyHeritage to another platform. MyTrueAncestry sounded very interesting because it compares your data with that from archaeological digs and can tell what groups your ancestors belonged to. That goes into a little more detail. My 3 largest groups on MyHeritage were Balkans at 50%, then Balts & Eastern Europeans at around 30%, and then "West Asians" at around 13%. Roughly speaking, the result on MyTrueAncestry: - about 26% "Illyrians" - approx. 40% "Celtic-Germanic" (mainly Ostrogoths, Gepids, Scordisci, Gauls...) - Rest Scythians & Slavs for the most part My parents are both ethnic Serbs from Bosnia and Serbia respectively. The result (especially MyTrueAncestry) makes a lot of sense in my opinion since most of the peoples mentioned above once lived or still live in the Balkans. I am more than satisfied with this result.

We might be different ethnicities, but we are the same race, otherwise we wouldn't be able to breed together, which we do.

The thing with DNA matching: it absolutely cannot be used to frame you for a crime. That’s just…not how it works. They can’t download information about your DNA, and if they could, they could not use it to manufacture DNA evidence on a person or an object related to a crime. Now if you, or a relative, commit a crime with DNA evidence, and your DNA doesn’t already exist in CODIS, a genetic genealogist might be asked to use DNA related to a crime to try to find the perpetrator. The criminal DNA when uploaded would return a number of matches; the public trees of those matches can be effectively reverse engineered to determine one or more people LIKELY to be the suspect. The police then check public records and criminal case files to narrow down the suspect. Then they try to get a sample of the suspect’s DNA-that’s when you get the stories of napkins or disposable cups used by the suspect being retrieved from the garbage. That’s tested against the DNA from the crime scene. If it’s a match, the police get a warrant. You are not culpable for the crime. You are not directly impacted by your relative’s crime, unless you have a personal relationship. You may never even know. But you’ve helped bring a criminal to justice. A similar process can be used to identify cold case victims with no identification. The recent identification of the Somerville Man is a good example. You might help give a victim back their name, and give their family closure on a long-missing relative.

I just uploaded to Genomelink and it was the least exact when it came to where my ancestor, plus almost every trait they said I had was wrong !

[@JRBDWD]

Someone cheated 😱

[@squidthesquid1233]

build a family tree, it will answer it

[@sashimi201]

Yep, Genomelink said I’m about 80% Northwest and Central European, while 23andMe showed a solid 0.6% Broadly European 🤣

[@ojmachine9545]

the thing is you have thousands of years of people moving around the continents before your grandmother was born. while accuracy can be off between tests; someone who has had a lineage with 3 generations of japanese people marrying other japanese people but all lived in france... the results would say they were japanese not franco. not saying your results were wrong just that they might be real but in a diff way then expected

[@jacquelinelarden6481]

Mentioning of the genetic testing part. I do have a genetic disorder. Would that come up on the results and would that affect any results of the DNA match results?

Could it be that regnar is a real ancestor of yours since you have matching DNA?

[@shlomomarkman6374]

Only recently tried finding my ancestry after myHeritage started to offer the service again. They had converted their facilities to do COVID PCR tests for almost two years (with the nagging question if they had also gathered DNA data in secret while doing the PCRs...). The results came as boring as it could be with 95%+ of certain mono-ethnic ancestry. In the mixed-up US it's probably not so common.

So, I have really little knowledge about this. Could someone tell me if all the companies of dna testing that he tried do give you your dna file? Like, you can download it and everything? Thanks in advance :D

[@Breyionna]

Yes, most of the testing companies allow you to download your raw dna file after you receive your results.

[@thepinkplushie]

Not an issue with any of your DNA test videos so much as something interesting: Intersex people exist and can have very weird and interesting unique experiences with DNA tests. It is, for example, possible for someone who mostly matches female archetypal features to have a Y chromosome, and thus (I imagine) have access to the genetic data that lies therein. While your generalization makes sense in these videos, sex is only binary as a classification, there's no singular determining factor, even if there's factors that determine things in the vast, vast majority of cases. DNA tests are actually helping us have more accurate data on how many intersex people exist, and how many variations and unique types of intersex conditions are out there. The numbers are actually higher than most people think. About 1/100 people have at least 1 element often associated with intersex conditions, and about 1/1200 people have a clearly defined intersex condition (before you worry about potential underlying health risks in yourself, the vast majority of intersex conditions are hormone related, and either you would already know by the time of puberty, or your body isn't notably effected by it. A lot of intersex conditions are also at a very base genetic level and seem to have almost no physical effect on the body). Intersex people can face a lot of stigma, and unfortunately are also often put through intrusive surgeries long before they can consent to them (often soon after their birth). The more we can learn about these conditions, and break the stigma of them simply being irrelevant mutations too rare to change anything for, the better. While this kind of DNA test isn't working towards that, and at most might have some quirks for intersex folks, the underlying technology and how inexpensive and widespread it has become is very impactful.

[@AntonioSanchez-md9sd]

The most reliable for me had been Ancestry. The others give reports out of proportion and I have test several.

[@Ryan-yi6su]

In regards of my true ancestry Has anybody ever tried it? It says I have a bunch of matches and more matches than others. But I wonder how accurate is this. It doesn't tell you what the max and the minimum numbers are to have a connection with someone else or some sort of ancient person. Has anybody else looked into it and got clearer answers

[@sethaniel1]

I don't know who could answer this, but if I have done every single DNA test like this guy has could I upload every profile to one of these sites?

[@UsefulCharts]

Yes. But you'd need to create a separate account for each upload.

[@IntelVoid]

GEDmatch allows you to upload multiple tests (I think 4 for free) on the same account, and you can compare them to each other as well as see who matches well with both vs with just one.

Suggestion - would a chart be possible for "war by continent" For example, Europe would have various lines representing time/duration of a war, width of line might represent casualties. I know its a bit morbid but war is a fact seemingly unavoidable. Im thinking gaps representing peaceful times will be rather rare. Anyhow just a thought.

I would like to do a DNA test but they'll keep my DNA data until someone hacks it..

[@doggo7078]

The trick is to wait until they hack the database and the leak is made public. Police looks into it and discovers that the data was sold to other companies. Then they fix their security system to be more secure. A fine is issued and new laws are passed by the EU to prevent this selling from happening. Now I can make a DNA test with safety, I just hope it happens before I die

[@dakkossman2063]

use MyHeritage as the correct reference. GenomeLink is bad for ancestry DNA

[@AlxzAlec]

@@dakkossman2063 It doesn't have to do with that

[@AlxzAlec]

Yes because there's a huge difference in how far back they are traced. Genomelink goes very far back and focuses on detail MyHeritage is more used for simply knowing your recent ancestry history

[@hifabien]

I have MyHeritage and I have uploaded yesterday my DNA kit on genomelink, but the results are TOTALLY different ! I am in multiethnic person with a complex DNA I went from 47,4% to 21,9% for Europe and 22,8% to 45.4% for Asia... only my African side was stable (29% to 29.5%).

[@JCK-gi2gm]

1. Each company uses a slightly to somewhat different "chip" with their own criteria and model so values between testing sites will always vary. 2. Within each company they evaluate new findings, develop new models and update on a fairly regular basis. There can be very big changes when updates are implemented and that's always good. It means the estimates (and they're always going to be estimates) are getting better based on current knowledge. 3. That knowledge can always go out the window or radically transformed based on new findings and this is a very young industry using very recent information from very recently developed areas of study. Using DNA to study migration patterns and individuals from burials a thousand or much longer ago is new! 4. Look forward to new updates. They're all good

[@hifabien]

@@JCK-gi2gm Thank you for explaining! Yes, I know for sure those are estimations, I just did not expect such a change from a site to another !!

[@user-oj4iz9gb9m]

EXACTLY TOTAL WASTE of precious money, hopes, energy, time!

[@lilfirerbunny]

I am torn on this, I was pretty confident native American would show up on my 23 and me but it didn't, but it did on my genomelink. They both showed an unexpected African genetic result and they both have me the correct approximate asian genetics. The genome link had a couple more unexpected genetic ancesties that could have come through the same ancestor with native American genetics since they are all north American genetics. I am also high in neurotism 😏 but that wasn't completely unexpected 😆 women are more prone to being higher in neurotism🤷‍♀️ I would recommend combing through the genomelink genetic heritage a little more. If they are completely different then something is up but you might find that there is additional information on the genomelink that the 23andme doesn't nail.

[@greg5023]

MyTrueAncestry, seems to be a ripoff. On MyTrueAncestry, I upgraded from King to Caesar to Zeus to Olympus because the upgrades promised additional data yet my ancestry map got ZERO new data points. I seem to have paid for nothing. FWIW, I have largely British and Danish relatives.

I've never been very interested in dna test as from the ancestry angle it will likely be extremely boring (almost fully finnish which was basically confirmed by my mom getting one) but your videos really raised by interest on the health angle as I wasn't aware there were several so comprehensive options and I definitely have some genetic disorders. (I have diagnosed ADHD, hearing loss and hypermobility spectrum disorder as well as strong suspicion of hEDS)

[@greywolf7577]

I'm the opposite. I'd be interested in building a more extensive family tree, but I don't want to know about health issues since I'd be worried about many diseases that either have a small chance of happening or are inevitable and thus I don't want to know about them.
