Does #DNA feel like a foreign language?
In this quick video, I break down two DNA terms you hear all the time, centimorgans and segments, and explain what they actually mean so you can read your results with confidence and know what to do next. www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_cx...

It depends a lot on the company's data set (these are slowly improving with time)
Small percentages mean less because they're less distinctive and easy to assign.
The units used in the business are percentages and cM (centimorgans).

So, you missed the #AncestryDNA sales. You're toiling over haplogroups and centimorgans. Nowhere else to turn?

I've spent the afternoon playing with the new #MatrixTool on @dnapainter.bsky.social. It's really helping me make sense of Dad's large group of Townend matches, which are now falling into four distinct clusters. #DNA #FamilyHistory

I truly understand your dilemma. You should see the eyes rolling back in the head when I start talking about centimorgans.

What can you do with more distant DNA matches, with whom you share fewer centimorgans and with whom a common ancestor isn’t apparent? In the blog post, learn what three things to consider. www.yourdnaguide.com/ydgblog/dist...

Yes. Commercial DNA testing AncestryDNa, 23&Me)
Identical twins will show in the amount of centimorgans (the measurement of relationships using segments of DNA) they have. Identical twins share the full amount of possible DNA.
Fraternal twins will show up with ± 0.2-0.5 that amount

You should have your DNA done. Mine is already on there. I think we may share 1800 centimorgans of DNA

Multiple relationships will often make your matches appear more closely related than they really are, while endogamy may or may not show up as an inflated amount of centimorgans.
Endogamy on your family tree means that working with your DNA matches can be CHALLENGING! #genealogy

There’s a big difference between genetic relationships and genealogical relationships band understanding that difference is the key to making sense of your DNA match list.
Your DNA test tells you how much DNA you share with someone (measured in centimorgans, or cM). 1/3

oh man, careful with your total number of shared centimorgans-- all my paternal cousins came out as half sisters . . . WAY too many unrecombined specific nucleotide polymorphism phrases in common on the X chromosome if you know what I mean

due to inbreeding, the Italianness is highly concentrated. I'm the product of two sisters from Family A marrying two brothers from Family B for like ten generations. Supercousins marrying supercousins. Same number of shared centimorgans with my paternal aunt and first cousin, as with a half sister

Nota bene one of the reasons she deserves a ham is she can't eat anything. We share 3000 centimorgans-- I could eat a mummy, if there were mayo involved. She can't breathe near a loafa bread. She needs chickpeas and special lotions to live. I'm "lol yeah I fell asleep on those tools earlier"

Surprise Sisters
Neither of us knew that the other existed until 2019 when AncestryDNA tests uncovered not only each other, but so much more we may have never known otherwise. Wild how spitting into a tube can change the very foundation of a life and open doors to futures previously unimagined. But it can and it did. That spit, once in the lab, was translated into centimorgans, which is a way to count ones genetic data.

Wrong. Sorry. No resemblance, IMO. DNA says I'm 67% Norwegian. The first thing I did was check to make sure those I share centimorgans with are not named Hegseth. none! Pete is definitely a creature of the influence of nuture and environment outweighing nature and heritage
