New My Origins Results

[Frank Kelch]

The updated My Origins results look a bit more plausible than the previous version (even if my Scandinavian percentage actually went up).

My new results:

51% Scandinavia
43% West and Central Europe
3% East Europe

Trace Regions
<2% East Central Africa
<2% North Africa
<2% West Africa

[Frank Kelch]

My mother's results:

45% West and central Europe
41% Scandinavia
8% British Isles
5% East Europe

Aargh. I'm getting blank boxes and a blank map, after clicking through the new myOrigins intro. Does anyone else have this? Will it sort itself out by the end of the day or something? Or do I need to write support?

Nice job

I went from almost 30% Scandinavian to just 7%, and from 16% Jewish to just 11%, the rest got clumped into Central and West Europe.
Yeah, great new algorithm. It can really tease out those populations apart...

I appreciate that FTDNA diverted between Sephardic and Ashkenazi.

Even though they gave my fully European uncle less Sephardic then he should have. Instead he got some native south American and some traces of Oceanic.

I guess these traits had to be added to the Sephardic in his case, as we have no ancestors in South America, but matches with Sephardic there...

My old vs new origins -

I was predicted:

91% European/9% Middle Eastern

55% British Isles
34% Scandinavia
2% Southern Europe

9% Middle Eastern


Now, I am predicted:

100% European

82% British Isles
14% Southeast Europe
4% Scandinavia

I'm guessing most of my previously designated Scandinavia went to British Isles, and the previously designated Middle East went to Southeast Europe.

It seems more generic to me.

Before & after. British Isles is more appropriate. My brother got only Scandinavian whereas before I had that entirely. And my brother went from 7% to 9% European/Scandinavian.

My Origins new update

Which one is right than? Let me get this straight, on my old origins I had:
90% European
70% Southern European
20% Scandinavian
10% North African

Update:
92% European
70% Iberian
15% Southeast Europe
7% Scandinavian
8% North African

How can there be such a huge mistake between Scandinavian and southeast European?
My father on his original results had 26% Scandinavian and now he's got none?
My mother on her original results had 18% Scandinavian and now she's got 8%?
There's a huge discrepancy here, something is wrong, or someone was deceiving the public originally.
This is a great way to deter people away from these tests, wait until I post these huge changes on my page and people will become even more skeptical about DNA testing.
Great way to advertise.

My new results:

51% Scandinavia
43% West and Central Europe
3% East Europe

Trace Regions
<2% East Central Africa
<2% North Africa
<2% West Africa

I should list my previous results:

61% western and central Europe
36% Scandinavia
2% East Central Africa
1% west Africa

[Frank Kelch]

My mother's results:

45% West and central Europe
41% Scandinavia
8% British Isles
5% East Europe

And her previous results:
52% British
36% Scandinavia
12% Southern Europe

Quite a difference...

do someone has list

hi all,
do someone has the list of the refrences populations
they used for each cluster ?
with kind regards
adam

[Karim]

African 53%
West Africa 37%
East Central Africa 16%

Middle Eastern 44%
North Africa 24%
East Middle East 15%
West Middle East 5%

Trace Results
South Central Africa < 2%
Siberia < 2%
South America < 2%
East Europe < 2%
Southeast Europe < 2%

Interesting.

Things have shuffled around. Some kits that I would have expected to have W&C Europe before but didn't now have some (with a decrease in Scandinavian and British Isles). And some that did have have W&C Europe don't have any anymore, but British Isles has increased.

Asia Minor has decreased from over 5% to a trace region.

Nice to see Southern Europe split now - some kits have Iberian showing up and others have South East Europe. There is no recent known history from either area.

I haven't found it yet in the Learning Center, but the Population Cluster page seems to have been updated for all the myOrigin 2.0 clusters.

The myOrigins Methodology Whitepaper, which does not seem to have been updated since 2014 (it uses the original myOrigins cluster names, which were changed shortly after the initial release), does discuss admixture, reference populations, cluster maps, and has a table of reference populations. The reference population table does not appear to have been updated to show what is used in myOrigins 2.0.
