Affy to Illumina conversions complete?

[gtc]

I now assume that most of my Affy matches never requested a conversion and that is why they have yet to show up.

Ah, yes, I'm forgetting that we had to "sign up" for the free conversion, so right now it seems that around 50% of my Affy matches may not have bothered to take that step.

I haven't got all my Affy matches back either. I've seen some drop off and I know they were converted. I haven't actually counted the totals yet but I don't expect to get them all back.

Matt, nobody seems to want to answer the question I asked in post # 31 regarding what to do (what is the relationship status) about lost Affy matches who don't show up in Illumina????

[nolnacsj]

I heard today that they are beginning to start on the kits that never were signed up. 2 - 3 weeks, maybe 4 to go.

Matt, thanks for that update. I now assume that most of my Affy matches never requested a conversion and that is why they have yet to show up.

Just use the chromosome browser to get a quick match count in both sections.

Matt,
FTDNA said 2-3 weeks for those that did sign up for conversion and that stretched out to over 8 weeks.

I had an email to say I had new matches today, but when I view "All Matches" I have the same as I did last week, 21.

I have only 8 out of my 58 Affy matches on the new Illumina. I am still missing my close matches let alone my distant cousins.
If that is 85% complete, I'm going to be one pissed of customer to loose so many matches, apart from the months of no new matches and waiting on matches to be converted.

I was told yesterday that conversions were 86% complete.

In my case ...

Affy matches: 52
"Illy" so far: 25

... thus only 48% complete by my measure.

Affy to Illumina

Picked up one new match an hour ago, still have 29 outstanding Affys. My great-uncle (Ilummina only) picked up 5 new matches.

New names

I just looked at my family finder matches and I have 1 from my Affy matches I just got a second ago and 1 new who is a relative.

I started the conversion with 43 Affy matches, 14 of which have been converted to date, leaving 29 to go. I have picked up an additional 19 non-Affy matches.

With less than half my original matches converted, it would seem many conversions are still in process, even if a few are lost.

Does anyone know the date for the next batch of results?

It doesn't matter, for two reasons:

1) Not all of any batch's kits arrive by the date, sometimes few or none, and sometimes they're all in early;
2) We don't know how many batches are required, certainly more than one more batch.

"Are we there yet?"

I am still missing 27 of my 33 Affy matches.

My question remains, if a whole lot of original Affy matches do not show up in Illumina, what does that mean? Are they still a real relative match to me at the level that was predicted, or not ???????????????????????
Some of them I have been working with for a year! One is the only 100% Italian match that I have, and I am adopted but know that I have an Italian birth father, so this match is very important to me. However, she has not shown up yet in Illumina.

Hopefully when I do my normal match results check after midnight tonight, I will see a whole bunch of my missing Affy's.....because I am getting very concerned.

For those with more material number not making it to Illumina (50%+), very reasonable to assume you will loose many of your Affy matches on Illumina.

It may still be reasonable to maintain contact with these former matches and compare notes. Keep a record of them while you still can.

I have one example of an Affy match who does not even appear in my parent's Illumina kit, but does appear in a grandparent, in the same area of the same chromosome that my Affy match was. The match in this region appears to be right around the threshold, and differences in the actual number/density of SNPs tested between the platforms and a few errors in the Affy chip could explain why I got a "false" positive, if you want to call it that...
