MtDNA...how do you read mutations?

[burto]

Hi,
Yes I agree, I think they were saying they can't distinguish between HV and H, however I don't know if HV would show up as R* with DeCodeMe, or whether it's different?

I haven't asked about 2706, however it doesn't appear in my advanced results sequence compared to the Cambridge...

Hi,
We got a reply regarding this confusion from OA and they said that based on their results we were just H (no subgroup as no changes from core sequence) and that they cannot distinguish between H and R*. They said that R* sits on the line where H and V split and that H1 and R* share some common...

Hi Radio1,
It's interesting to read your views on the test. Although, I have not done the 23andme test, I have come to the decision that each test has it's limitations and it's benefits.
I am very impressed by DeCodeMe's map of kinship, which seems to place people nicely next to populations...

Hi,
There isn't a 14766 full stop. So if they added more relevant SNP's, then it doesn't matter that this one isn't included because there are more important ones that can determine a mito group?

[burto]

What's SNP testing and how is this different to DeCodeMe?

Cacio,
Are these from your DeCode results? I share the same numbers as you in bold, but you say you don't have 14766, but isn't that the one in underlined?
Either way, I don't have it or the others you have not in bold ...

[burto]

And can it be applied to DeCodeMe's raw data?
I found this link: http://www.genebase.com/blog/?p=41
Which shows mutations to assign you to a particular group so I thought I'd check them against my raw data and am I right in saying that this table is suggesting that if you have a G at...

Hi,
Got the message and have sent a reply!

Hi V.R.R.
Thanks for sharing your results! I've sent you a personal message!

Hi,
Just out of interest, is there one? Do you mean a "nordic" structure (supposedly long skull)? Just curious if there is a known type, as I don't think me and my Mum's facial structures are common of typical British people (from my observations living here and looking at English family...

Hi Cacio,
Thanks for asking, I have asked them also, because I still don't see why it should change if your in the Europe region for both. I understand for the Europe region you are magnifying the differences, but surely your doing that if you close in on the Europe region of the world map ...

[burto]

So DeCodeMe are going the same way as DNAPrint?...

[burto]

Have sent it again ...

Hi Cacio,
Yeah I thought that might be the case, that it's the same map but at a different angle, have sent you an invite!

Hi Maria,
If you open the map of kinship, you start by viewing a world map. You are somewhere at the top, in the Europe section.
Using your mouse, if you zoom in, and left click and hold to move up or down until you find your little man, you will see that he is sat between the France/Iceland/Orkney...
