How accurate are DNA tests?

What does Sup Forums think of DNA tests like 23andMe?

I know DNA is absolute, but that genealogy is a lot of interpolation.

Anyone ever get one? Did it change how you felt about yourself? Your political views?

It depends on the gene. Some alleles are guaranteed to make you an autist or wheelchair you, some are innocuous, some appear to be lethal but is, for some reason, innocuous. There's too much inter-gene interactions, and the science really isn't there for predicting the appearance of many traits based on a screen of the genome, yet. Services like 23andMe are fortune-telling tier for the most part.

Commercial calculators are highly inaccurate.

The raw data to be used with calculators such a those available on Gedmatch is the only value.

My DNA testing, including Y-DNA testing simply confirmed my family lore.

General NW Euro ancestry with some Native American.

The resolution of Autosomal DNA mapping does not go beyond the gross regional level. It's not able to differentiate between countries in NW Europe with any sort of accuracy.

My Y-DNA testing confirmed my paternal lineage to the 11th century in Scotland.

i'm totally wanting this but i wont do it using my real name
solutions?
can that shit tell me who my cousin is even if i dont use my name?

>It's not able to differentiate between countries in NW Europe with any sort of accuracy.
Well how could it reasonably do so? That whole area is just a gradient, with different populations moving in and out and around it for at least the last 1000 year.

I'd imagine it would be pretty accurate when it comes to differentiating different regions, like Western Europe, Middle East, North Africa, no?

You can opt in or out of the part that lets you see genetic relatives and lets them see you.

I did one of these and I've had people who the machine says are my 5th cousins or something request to see my profile. I don't recognize any of the names.

>Well how could it reasonably do so?

Ask the major DNA testing company's claiming so with their calculators.

DNA.LAND is probably one of the more honest of the group and most closely reflects the best resolution of Autosomal DNA mapping.

>send me your DNA goyim.

Interesting. Is that a free tool like GEDmatch?

>supporting 23andSJW's

Thats the most cucked company in the bay area.

Don't buy from them.

prove you're white itt

What did they do?

Don't do it.

I am 6'5", very white, blue eyes, blonde hair. I did the DNA result and found I was 0.6% west african, 0.1% ashkanzi, and only 99.3% western european (mainly british isles and scandinavian).

I feel fucking dirty now. I didn't even share my results with my pol/ack friends in fear of being called a nigger.

Don't do it senpai. You will just find out shit you don't wanna know.

Under 1% isn't reasonably accurate enough to say you had ancestors that were part of those ethnic groups. It's really just guesswork at that point.

cheer up m8, at least you still have your whiteman intellect? Right?

It's very accurate in terms of general regions, like Scandinavia, Britain, or Iberia, but it's not much more specific than that.

It's basically only good as a tool to prove whether or not you're white and get a vague idea of what kind of white you are if so.

Pic related as mine, not 23andme but 23andme is more specific than AncestryDNA

there's essentially no reason not to buy one. it's not expensive and you find out the most fundamental details about your biological composition

results under 1% are bullshit

DNA tests are only good when compiled together for population statistics. Like Pic Related, a study done by ancestry.com

Yes, iirc.

Ancestry a shit.

>0.1% Unassigned

Traces of canine DNA?

They are anti trump. I know someone who works there.

Sounds like social engineering ploy to connect dumb old people to scammers.

I did ancestry

I found out that I have the Warrior Gene.

>Europe 99%

i hope the other 1% is "Unassigned" user

And what of it?

>hfw when she catches you staring at her tits

It means that I am predisposed to violence.

23andme ancestry results

Ancestry.com results

Well my mom also did it and she was 100% western/northern european, she is from Sweden. The nigger just doesn't show up.

Well I have my masters in cyber security from the university of washington. I like to think I am kinda smart.

Are you violent?

>masters
>smart

pick one

That's not exactly proof.

But it wouldn't surprise me that a company in the bay area is liberal.

the accuracy has grown to levels that if anything is over 2% can't be ignored. 1% can see be problematic, but represents an outlier in your genetics. So they might be slightly off in the location, they still detect a similar population as origin/shared background.

Have I ever committed violent crime? No. Do I have an aggressive personality? Yes.

>There is a link between low activities forms of the MAOA gene and autism.

So it makes people autistic OR violent?

Which one are you?

If you have C, you are more likely to be aggressive/violent and have anger issues. If you have T, you are more likely to be a depressed beta cuck. Niggers have a much higher percentage of C in their population than Whites.

Fuck off shill

>graduated high school with my 2yr degree due to running start

>2 years free at UW for BS in IT
>have 2years of free college left

Then I had two options.

a. waste 2 years of free college and join the workforce with just a BS in a city full of them

b. get masters for free and get a job paying 90k a year before even graduating


You tell me which pick was the smart one :')

Am I technically mixed race if I'm half-Roman and half-Celtic? Not that it wouldn't be snowflake autism to call myself anything other than "white"; it just pisses me off that Americans have conflated race with nothing more than skin color.

Probably a combination of both.

You're just an affirmative action hire, african.

Do you think my 0.6% would qualify me as african american on job applications? I should test this out if I don't get my promotion in the next few months.

it's aliens tbqhfam

sure just make sure to tan a lot beforehand, but you better hurry before trump uncucks us so hard that the gibs stop flowing

So do I.

I have the 3 repeat.

Niggers have the 2 repeat.

The lower the repeat count the less you're able to process chemicals in your brain so more builds up. That leads to a higher emotional response.

just bring your test results to the interview for when they question it. tell them your family has strong african roots

So tanning, getting corn rows, and talk like a fucking retard, i mean nigger. Check. I will report back and let yall know if it works.

What haplogroup you belong to is basically meaningless. That's the only thing that'd I'd say is meaningless, not because it's inaccurate, but that it doesn't trace your "heritage" or origin.

My paternal hap group is J2B2, which originated from copper age Balkans. That's so OLD that it tells me nothing about my heritage. My ancestors could've walked all around the Earth before any meaningful history came.

My maternal hap group is B2B, which is from Amazonian tribes.

Maternal vs. paternal hap groups, maternal is more meaningful because it's taken from mitochondrial DNA, which doesn't change. It essentially means I have a direct maternal link to some Amazonian. Paternal doesn't mean anything because it's taken from the y-chromosome, which mutates and changes. Perhaps only useful for tracing up to your great grandfather.

Aside from haplogroup specifics, everything is, as what it says it is. I'm 92% Euro, nothing really surprises me. I've got Swiss heritage from German-Switzerland, so I was a bit surprised that I was so disproportionately Iberian (Portuguese). Switzerland had also some influences from Italy and is pretty close to it so I'm not too shocked.

Genotype stuff is pretty cool too. I think I bought it back when it was 100$ though, now it's 200$? I wouldn't buy it now, but I'm glad I did it. I'm in the 90%+ of white and have minimal Jewish influences.

I forgot to answer your questions:
>Anyone ever get one
yes, I did
>Did it change...
A bit. I've got Brazilian heritage, so I was a bit unsure what would my ethnic makeup be. A bit surprised at how white I was. Disappointed that I must have pulled more from my Mother (white, Italo-Portuguese) than my Dad (brown-white, Swiss-Amazonian)
>Political views
Right wing. Didn't influence them at all.

Only 99% and higher European post

>tfw T
>tfw I can control my anger and always calm.

good luck my nigger


>inb4 my results have even more african
fml

...

can you choose to see only relatives on father side? based on genetics, using a fake name?

Huh, that's pretty cool. Well written post.

Interesting how you have a little Amazonian, I guess one of your ancestors was an imperialist or something.

>Paternal doesn't mean anything because it's taken from the y-chromosome, which mutates and changes. Perhaps only useful for tracing up to your great grandfather.

Complete and utter bullshit.

The y chromosome only mutates very rarely and those mutations are used trace and classify them.

I have the "T" variant. What does that mean?
I've barely ever fought, only been in 1 fight and it was accidental, ending in my bloody nose and "sorry's!" flying everywhere.

No, he's rather ill informed.

Don't believe everything you read on Sup Forums...

Literally (You)

5th cousins is pretty far out there. Unless you're into genealogy, you most likely would not recognize the names.

I have heard that Y-Chromosome testing is more accurate. Is that true?

they are just looking at DNA markers and comparing to similar people to determine ancestry... they aren't even looking at genes (although 23andme does also check for mutant alleles that would cause genetic disease to determine your carrier status.)

The ancestry and carrier status tests are pretty much spot on. The 'fortune-telling' aspects, such as them trying to guess your eye color based on people with similar genetics, is kind of pointless but its fun at least.

Pic related using y-dna to trace far ancestry.

The y chromosome is passed directly from father to son and very rarely mutates.

Whites: 34% 3R, 0.1% 2R
Niggers: 59% 3R, 5.5% 2R

I think the C allele on 23andme can either be 2R or 3R. I don't know of any way on 23andme to tell which one of those 2 you have, if you have C.

What does the T allele mean, that you don't have it?

That you are less likely to be aggressive or autistic, but probably more likely to be depressed and be a cuck.

See:

Its a direct link.

I know my paternal history to the 11th century thanks to y-dna. That's mainly due to my family being prominent for centuries during that time and deemed worth of modern study.

pretty accurate,

Oh god, this is what I want to know the most. I have been diagnosed bipolar type 2 so this might be why. Fuuuuuuuck.

Well, it's this and savant shit. God damn do I love breaking shit though. I secretly want to start a fight club even though I'll get my skeletor-ass kicked.

If you're white and test positive for the warrior gene its the 3R version.

>30.1% Broadly Northwestern European.

Fucking filthy Slav!

Dumb or troll?

Using Bayes' Theorem, you have about a 0.3% chance of having the 2R version if you're White with the C version.

DNA Land is retarded and gave me 20 percent Balkan although I've taken 23andme, AncestryDNA and FTDNA and recieved 0 percent Balkan from each one. Doesn't show up in any GedMatch test either, what's the deal?

What? So I'm genetically predisposed to rape and murder people? Even though the only fight I was ever in lasted for 2 seconds and ended in my bloody nose?

I'm going to go ahead at take the safe bet of the 1 in 3 chance of the 3R version.

There are other platforms/tools to test, but I can be arsed to looked them up right now.

The Y chromosome actually mutates very quickly, that's why it's so much better at tracing ancestry than mtdna

>tfw C
>tfw sociopathic asshole
>tfw I hate other people instead of hating myself
Feels good man

Proud white man reporting in

You're predisposed to be more emotional in high stress situations of you have the "warrior gene".

That's it.

orange is native and purple is west African

Holy shit.

Now I can officially make jokes about jews due to my 5% estimated european jew heritage

>The Y chromosome actually mutates very quickly, that's why it's so much better at tracing ancestry than mtdna

As compared to what?

The point being, y-dna isn't like the othet 22 chromosomes that recombine during reproduction.

Mama?

Nigger in the wood pile. Looks like a great great great great grandparent burned some coal.

Compared to mtdna, the ydna recombines at the telomeres and is actually severely demented compared to the Y chromosome in other mammals. It's only use is for determining sex as far as we know because it's so fucked

You said that you have the T version, which means that you don't have the warrior gene.

I'm ending it tonight.

Fucking leaf with a proxy...

Have 308 Neanderthal variants as well. Mongolian part is probably from Genghis Khan's rapescapades.

Do you really want to pay 100 dollars to proove you are white?

Very accurate

Anyone else use this site?

It lets you upload you and your gfs Genetic info from
23and me into a calculator and determine your childs likely traits, pretty nifty

Shit is evil. Don't do it it's the jews and CIA trying to get your DNA so that they weaponize the human genome to be used against you.
