Who is eligible
Everyone who is of European, Asian, or North African ancestry and all four of his/her grandparents are from the same European, Asian, or North African ethnic group or the same European, Asian, or North African country.
Please do not submit samples of relatives, as these make analysis difficult. I consider 2nd cousins and closer relatives to be related.
I am sorry that I can't process everyone's data, so if you don't fit the above criteria and you feel you should be included, feel free to write to me (but don't send me your data!) and I will keep it in mind. Also, you can subscribe to the feed for future opportunities to submit your data.
What you will receive
You will receive the standard K=10 analysis results such as this, and you will also be eligible for other types of tests such as Galore analysis or regional studies
Your raw data or genealogical information will not be shared or distributed in any manner, and it will not be analyzed for any other purpose than assessment of ancestry (i.e., not for any physical or health-related traits). It will be identified by a unique ID, known to you and me, and results will be posted in the blog using that ID. I will continue to analyze your data for ancestry, and new results will be posted using that same ID. Also, I will report aggregate results for populations with at least 5 participants.
What to send
Send your zipped autosomal data to dodecad@gmail.com. Also let me know something about your ancestry (e.g., ethnic group, country of origin of grandparents, or anything else that might be useful).
Hi,
ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean when you say "all four of his/her grandparents are from the same European, Asian, or North African ethnic group or the same European, Asian, or North African country" does someone with grandparents with French, Portuguese and German ancestry qualify? Best, Antonio.
No, all four grandparents should be of the same ethnic group or country.
ReplyDeleteDo you think you will be analysing the dna of people like me any time soon? Thanks,
ReplyDeleteWhere can I get my zipped autosomal data done? Can it be done for cheap?
ReplyDeletePlease could somebody tell me how to get the autosomal data from 23andme? The only options available to download raw data are
ReplyDelete- mitochondrial DNA
- only the Y chromosome
- or all DNA (chromosomes 1-22, X, Y, and mitochondrial).
I have search on the Internet but there are no instructions to get the autosomal data.
I only need a link. Thanks in advance.
Choose all DNA
ReplyDeleteThanks. I'll do so.
ReplyDeleteHi, I just got my 23andMe genome data and would like to submit it for your project if you are still accepting. I am of South Asian (North Indian) descent - all four grandparents. Let me know
