Upload data from 23andme?

[djemkitso]

Several websites have said that the capability to upload raw data from 23andme into Family Finder would be coming soon.

Is there a status on this?

I email them and they said they are planning this for the future.

Problem is, AFAIK 23andme testes only 99% of the SNPs of FTNDA (and some 300k+ medical SNPs too).

FTDNA is testing a handful more SNPs for genealogy purpose.

They've been saying that since day one of Family Finder BETA over a year and a half ago. Granted, the problem with Affy and converting every Affy test to Illumina has slowed this down, but still about 6 months since they completed the conversions.

About seven weeks ago, at the annual FTDNA conference in Houston, it was announced by Bennett Greenspan that this option should be coming in four to six weeks. That was reported by CeCe Moore on her blog. Scroll down to the "Question and Answer Panel" discussion, here:

It's my understanding from this (and from discussion of it on other forums) that there will be a charge of about $50 for doing it, and that it will only work with the Illumina v. 3 results at 23andMe. That chip has only been used for about the past year. I'm no authority on this, and didn't attend the conference -- I'm just passing along what I have read elsewhere.

Matt Dexter posted on another thread in this forum that now that FTDNA has worked out the kinks in the new myFTDNA website, that adding the 23andMe transfer/upload is the next new thing on the list. (It's post #62 in the thread "the beta for myFTDNA is out")
