GEDmatch has this announcement at the top of my login page: “Aug 10 2017 NOTICE to 23andMe Customers: 23andMe is now using the GSA chip for their new V5 raw DNA file results. This format is not compatible with the regular GEDmatch upload, but can be used with the GEDmatch Genesis upload. Use the link in the lower right column of this page.” Is our ability to “compare everyone with everyone” on GEDmatch now broken? I.e. all new 23andMe kits can’t be compared to any of the tens of thousands of existing GEDmatch kits? Genesis says “GEDmatch Genesis database will be separate from the main GEDmatch database, and comparisons for one will not show entries made in the other. Eventually, the 2 databases will be merged, and results will include entries from both” … but I wonder how long it’ll take for the merge; and it sounds like, for the moment, the schism is real ☹ Best, Eric <https://keyserver.pgp.com/vkd/DownloadKey.event?keyid=0xE0F58E0F1AF7E6F2> OpenPGP: 0x1AF7E6F2 ● Skype: oneota ● XMPP/OTR: <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected] ● Silent Circle: +1 312 614-0159
The same restriction applies to LivingDNA -- it can be used in the beta Genesis site, but not the main GEDmatch database. The problem is the reduced number of SNPs available for cross-platform comparisons. You can upload a file to the regular GEDmatch and use it for one-to-one comparisons, however. The results seem fine for larger segments.
