Dear Andreas, I agree with Jim that it would be nice to have the threshold variable. I have a fair number of TGs where the longest segment covering everyone in the TG is in the 30 cM range.

The app is automatically adjusting to the data. You enter only one of your parents data, you will get very long segments in many cases for the TG’s. I’ve send a screenshot to the DNA Newbie list that shows how I got 21 TG’s in just 5 minutes from 23andMe data with just allowing access to 23andMe and downloading and importing two files!
