Dear All, Earlier today I received an e-mail from FTDNA that they will be moving from Build 37 to Build 38 for the BigY. This should lead to more accurate Y SNPs being reported for the BigY. The update will be rolled out on Oct. 10 and then BigY matches will be recalculated over the following 5 to 7 days. I wonder if they will be moving Family Finder SNPs to Build 38 eventually as well. I would welcome that. Sincerely, Tim Janzen

I am waiting on 2 Big Ys due sometime this month....so do you think the results will be processed on the new build or the old?

I got a reply to a question about this. Its pretty clear. It says: "Remapped vcf and BED files will be generated from the remapped BAM files, though it may take a few days after the re-run is complete for them to be available. A remapped downloadable BAM file will be available on request at some point after the re-run. We do not yet know when that will be. Those who have a hg19 BAM file will have to request a hg38 BAM file. We won't automatically replace them. " That means that all the raw data, if you re-download all of it, will be coherent. This is very good news if its accurate.

For those that have a spreadsheet with a large number of SNPs presently showing hg19 positions, you are probably wondering what is involved in producing hg38 positions.  Here is how I went about it. I have been able to organise my SNP positions with the help of the mutation page produced by Alex Williamson, http://www.ytree.net/hg19tohg38.html. 1.    I took the list of my 695 SNPs and pasted the hg19 positions into column A of a new spreadsheet. 2.    Copy this list into Column D 2.    Sort Column D from smallest to largest 3.    In column E insert the adjustment specified in Alex's listing.  As these are ranges, copying in the adjustments is quite quick, and this is the worst part of the whole procedure. 4.    Calculate the new position in column F with a formula that adds or subtracts column E from column D as appropriate. 5.    In column B, Cell B1, insert the formula =VLOOKUP(A1,D:F, 3,FALSE) and copy this formula to the bottom of your list of positions. 6.    Column B now holds the hg38 positions of your SNPs in the order of your original list. Copy this Column, 7.    'Paste Special' choosing 'Values' to your original SNP listing spreadsheet and job is done! I hope this helps others do their conversions (Thanks Alex) Kind regards all! *Dennis Wright* Donnchadh Mac an tSaoir Irish Type III R-L226 > FGC12290 /"We are merely the present-day custodians of our Ancestors genes." / On 10/10/2017 9:09 AM, McDonald, J Douglas wrote: > I got a reply to a question about this.

Several NEW BigY results arrived at the Clan Donald today. Results are not encouraging. Inportant SNPs, new to their list, like S744, have appeared. But other ones, like YP275 or YP507, are not. And worse ... two of my named markers including CLD57 HAVE appeared ... CLD57 is not a SNP, or even an ordinary indel! No download button appeared (to me, a GAP admin). Previously the button was there, just did not work. Spiffy looking new tools are there ... but will they work correctly with the missing SNPs?
