It is an improvement, but it still does not appear to be as accurate as 23andme and AncestryDNA.<br /><br />Any insight as to when AncestryDna will release their updated Ethnicity Estimates? It has been in beta for over a year.

Like for instance the new Slavic category renaming (?) of the old Eastern European category. Why call it the Slavic component when the component almost surely won't even peak in Slavic people? Also their current map for what the Eastern European component region covers is wrong. They show it barely going into the Baltics and yet some in the Baltics score like 94%-100% on this! OTOH some in Slavic countries often score only like 30-60%. I'd bet the newly named Slavic component will peak in the Baltics, which are not even Slavic and it will be the same story for the totally misnamed Northern Slavic component on DNA.LAND.<br /><br />wombathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16198050755646956399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2010859453749706440.post-36038115692886679922016-03-22T19:17:38.303-07:002016-03-22T19:17:38.303-07:00Tl, thanks so much for this detailed breakdown of ...Tl, thanks so much for this detailed breakdown of what appears to be coming down the pike.

I agree except I don't know about that Cameroon/Congo/Southeastern Bantu category, although in theory seems to be correct vis a vis all Bantu are supposed to similar and it seems they are utilizing Bantu for reference populations. But I also thought the Bantu were similar linguistically and wonder why they their is not greater resolution between Bantu-speaking sub-populations. <br />TL Dixonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14229718012489889741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2010859453749706440.post-91362372971372481512016-03-03T15:50:46.144-08:002016-03-03T15:50:46.144-08:00Nice TL, this is a great recap.

I think it will be a few iterations from now and perhaps when we get to Full Genome sequencing as the norm that we will finally get to something really meaningfully better than the current rough estimates. And they really should be considered rough. In my case having my German and French ancestry more accurately reflected in ANCESTRY's Central Europe is helpful. Losing my African segments altogether is not. At FTDNA there sample size for Germany had been laughable small so any additional data sets are in order. I also hope that in the My Origins 2.0 the percentages under 1% are included. Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13156138063259382099noreply@blogger.com
