I have no trouble with using the CODIS markers in population genetics studies as these contain many individuals and then in effect many markers, however to use these markers as means for investigating individual ancestry and especially minor ancestry is really waste of time and money....

At the time of migration Sami populations still existed much further south in both todays Sweden and Finland, is it possible that there might have been a Sami influence or component in this migration that made the people understand the native americans better than others Europeans?

The chips itself provide wealth of data, however neither decodeme and especially 23andme have not been able (yet) to exploit the full potential of the data from yourself and the reference populations....

Sure, it works with parents, but then again you dont really need to resolve these with phasing program, you can do it in a minute or two yourself if you have one of your parents data.

Again how usefull will this "haplotype" you have phased be when all the 21 single markers are...

The whole idea about phasing is to resolve genotype to haplotype for linked markers, and as far as my mind is able to there is no point phasing totally independent single markers if there is no linkage between the markers, the phasing would be no better than trowing dices....

[Noaide]

There is no point phasing any of the CODIS markers as these all are independent of each other, you need markers to be in linkage to have any purpose....

I also have 8% NA on the ABDNA test, however none of my ancestors have never made any footprint in the new world....

They would then have to redesign the chip not to include Y-DNA and mtDNA, that would mean more hazzle and more cost so they might as well just include them in the same batch....

If you had half "black" x-chr it would show of as a becon in your dna....

The problem is not the beadchips themself but the instruments to analyse them properly, especially making the right division of both autosomal and x-chr haploblocks from the recombination hotspots. Unfortunatly some massive computer power is needed to get them all fully phased and divided, even just...

If you maternal grandfather was "black" he would have passed on his x-chromosome to your mother and your mother would pass on x-chromosomes to you, and as males only have one set x-chr you would have a phased set of x-chromosomes half (?) of them from your maternal grandfather....

I would suggest those of you who also have deCODEme to analyse the autosomal SNP segment around the location of this marker and check it against HGDP_CEPH data for native americans versus europeans. If the autosomal segment suggest native american, then it is native american, if not then not. If thats...

Proto-Finno-Ugrian probably have been spoken much further south in a contact area with proto-iranian....

deCODEme use 17K using the linked model in STRUCTURE for the admixture analysis, however if you feed a 10K set of data into STRUCTURE using the standard admixture model assuming independent loci no African admixture appears for individuals reporting African admixture in their deCODEme ancestry repo...

The FTDNA autosomal panels is not enough to find anything except very crude continental ancestry (European, Asian or African) and is totally useless in any admixture or minority analysis. So I suggest you wait until the expensive autosomal SNP tests prices comes down, you begin saving or you dont take...
