Where can I upload my phased parents file

[RobertaMarques]

Hello,

Actually they would be my grandparents.

I have my mom autosomal and x results that I got from ftdna. Usina a y-str.com tool, I phased the autosomal, creating my grandmother and grandfather autosomal. The problem is that I can't upload to gedmatch as it also requires the x-file.

Any ideas on what to do with these files? Can I use the same x-file (unphased) for both of them?

I'm skeptical that the file has any utility. For the most reliable results, you need a child and both parents. Even if you have all three parties, Felix's utility presents results in an unconventional format in many cases.

I agree with Ann, you would need multiple family members to successfully build a Grandparents file (phased file of parent)

but If you want to load an X file you can create a dummy file containing all no calls by opening an X Raw Data file in Notepad and then replace all A, C, G, and T's with - , then save as a new name as a .csv file
(Ctrl+H and Replace All)

I assume, if you just used yours and your mothers, it will look at what you received from your mother and assign it to one Grandparent and what you did not receive as the other grandparent, each of these will be a mixture of her paternal and maternal.

Just keep that in mind, each individual matching segments will possibly be real in each of mothers phased files but one segment in one file on a certain chromosome maybe to one Grandparent while another non overlapping segment in same file and chromosome maybe the other Grandparent.

Admixtures for each file will be a combination of both also.

EDIT
You will probably get the same result if you use Gedmatch's phasing utility and set your kit as mother and mothers kit as child.
