Any chance to get the code that you used to do this? -----Original Message----- From: David Schroeder via <genealogy-dna@rootsweb.com> To: genealogy-dna <genealogy-dna@rootsweb.com> Sent: Mon, Dec 14, 2015 8:50 pm Subject: Re: [DNA] My Raw Data Files - Comparison 23andme vs AncestryDNA I was able to 'fix' the no-calls for matching RSIDs on both Ancestry and 23andme when one, or the other, was not a no-call. I fixed 6,632 on 23andme and 6,708 on Ancestry. Interestingly enough, there were 3,833 that were left as no-calls on both 23andme and AncestryDNA for the same RSIDs. I am wondering if these are the result of particularly difficult locations to test, or perhaps the SNP is rare in my genome? The tests were over two years apart. I uploaded both fixed raw data files to gedmatch to see how it may affect my 'one-to-many' matches. (Will have to wait on the processing). I ran the Gedmatch File Diagnostic Utility, and the fixed files had significantly reduced my error rates. It seems that most of my errors are in the X, Y or MT Chromosomes.

You will find instances of TC and CT, for example. Illumina's base-calling software has something called a "top strand" and a "bottom strand" (not the same thing as forward/reverse or plus/minus). 23andMe does some post-processing to put alleles in alphabetical order. Anyway, did you also look for TA? SNPs where the alternative alleles are also complementary base pairs in the double helix ( A <-> T and C <-> G) are tricky to handle. 23andMe may have developed custom probes to identify some of those. I've also noticed that AncestryDNA and FTDNA do not report any indels (the I and D alleles you asked about). Tim, this may not be worth the effort to analyze, but I'm curious to know if the "i" variants with rs numbers at FTDNA may be cases where 23andMe put some additional probes on the chip for a particular locus. If you have a list handy, I could explore that a bit.
