A few weeks ago, I took advantage of a promotional offer from AncestryDNA. I have been tested with 23andMe and have blogged a lot about that, but I have held off with Ancestry because of their lack of allowing chromosome browsing. However, the promotional offer was good so I went for it. I am amazed that my results are already back in. They just received my sample July 28th! That was a far shorter turnaround period than I expected.
I’ve only had a few moments to take a look, but you know what? As I have been learning how to do Google Hangouts On Air (HOA), I did a short test tonight. I made a broadcast to go through my results so I could share it with my mother. I can’t believe I’m posting it (and keeping it public for all to see), but here goes! I might as well kill two birds with one stone.
In doing this HOA, I am using my wi-fi, which is not recommended, so the video is grainy. I’ll hook up with a wire next time. And yes, I am sitting on my bed. It’s bedtime ya know… 😀
Many thanks to my partner in crime, Patrice for really getting me on a roll with doing Google Hangouts On Air! Not only am I looking forward to further exploring my DNA results but I am also going to be doing more with Google HOA. Stay tuned….
My Ancestry DNA Results Are Back!
Great tutorial,Taneya! Other than presentation and their interface with other ancestry.com members (which is definitely a perk) I would love to know how your ancestry results compare with 23andme. My 23andme results showed only European ancestry, but when I uploaded them to GEDmatch, some previously unreported Native and Sub-Saharan ancestry was calculated. I am wondering whether all autosomal testing is pretty much the same or if there are meaningful differences.
Hi Deborah. I will definitely be studying my results more closely so that I can compare Ancestry against 23andMe. Thanks!
