Ummm, most of these services don't offer ancestral breakdowns unless you buy that optional extra. Nobody believes the ancestral breakdowns, they've been discussed to death, they're a stupid idea based on tiny sample sizes and meaningless correlations.
Nobody looks at those. The companies that give a breakdown should be informed that they should back off or go help populate Mars. Same with those who worship such results. They damage severely the credibility of the valuable data.
There are sufficient mutations to guarantee genetic divergence.
The difference between identical twins is small, depending on exactly what point they divided, but it isn't zero. You could, in principle, have "identical" twins with different hair colour. It would be very unusual, but the number of mutations required is smaller than the genetic distance.
I have submitted my data twice to FamilyTreeDNA and once to 23&Me. Absolutely identical results,as you'd expect. I then submitted (with permission) a fairly close relative on the same paternal line. The results differed to the degree one would expect and nothing more.
However, I only tested autosomal (notoriously problematic) for 23&Me. Near relatives show up on the list at the same distance my family tree shows them at, but that's only a crude measure. That only tells me they got things mostly right.
Note that this was before the point popularity of such tests exploded.
This raises some very interesting questions.
The examination of the results suggests lab procedures are mostly correct, with only a small amount of contamination. Expected from autosomal, spit samples are seriously bad.
Don't expect procedures to stay good, as demand goes up, they'll downgrade quality. A proper analysis takes 3 days using Illumina gear (seriously cool brochures, with a seriously evil price tag on the hardware or I'd buy one) but you can do quick and dirty in an hour. Why use the hires setting when you can deal with 72x as many customers and nobody really cares?
The main fault for now seems to be in interpretation and analysis, which everyone agrees is horrible right now. I know of nobody who speaks good of any of the analysis software. I've had a look at BLAST (open source) and a few other toolkit, and I have absolute faith that the software works. Eventually. Most of the time.
Edison stole his invention, exploiting America's refusal to recognize intellectual property rights in other countries. So did many U.S. "inventors".
Ford was not the first to make cars, or even to make affordable cars. Ford was merely the best at getting his name touted.
Steve Jobs?? Bwahahaha! The least competent narcissist on the planet? He invented nothing. Nor did Apple come up with portable or handheld computers. Apple were late in the game and overpriced.
Don't revise history, just to pump up the obituary of someone. It makes a mockery of whatever they actually achieved.
Current tech is abysmal, Windows becomes unstable merely downloading patches, Linux' legendary reliability is no more. Tech peaked in the mid to late 90s and has gone downhill since.
Is a way to pay for education through a highly inefficient tax system at higher rates than normal because most of those benefitting aren't paying, only those getting the education.
Why not just raise Federal tax by an extra 1% per bracket, with no deductions permitted?
Then the cost is spread across those who benefit by the amount they benefit. Furthermore, as you've one (pre-existing) collection point not many new ones, you don't have to pay for the overhead.
In the worlds before Monkey, primal chaos reigned. Heaven sought order. But the phoenix can fly only when its feathers are grown.
A story to rival that of India's great epic. And, yes, there's no question it is a great epic. I've not finished reading, some parts are hard going. Then I've the great epics of Finland, Saxon Britain, Sumer and Greece to go.
The Irish and Welsh opted for collections of short stories. Good but not epics.
Whether it's a pregnant woman being driven to hospital in a Tesla dying of complications, a kid getting hit by something thrown, raised tempers turning ugly, someone failing to stop in time for the parked cars...
And the truckers will deny it has anything to do with them. Legally, they'd probably be right. Blood on innocent hands.
The Tesla drivers will deny any blame, too, if it's a case of raised tempers. Stand your ground is a legal defence.
It wouldn't matter if they had to stack the bodies in a double 40' trailer. Nobody's guilty here, your honor.
Who the hell gives a shit what you think of such and such a political ideology that nobody here can define anyway. Who the hell cares what you think of Tesla or truckers?
Is the absolute certainty of accidental death of someone who has nothimg to do with either side a desired outcome? This isn't whatiffery, this is guaranteed if these incidents keep happening.
At what point is it more important to find and apply a fix than to whine about the bug?
My guess is never. The days when getting things done mattered are long over.
If some person is, I don't give shit what they call themselves, they've nothing to do with justice, social or otherwise.
Secondly, none of the fuss was stirred up by anyone who actually believed it. It wss a troll, like any other, seeking to cause trouble. If anyone gets killed, well, the author will be that much happier.
You don't do that if you think you have a point. If you've evidence, you present it (they skip on that, a common trait of trolls) and you remain a dispassionate observer. You report the facts and only the facts.
If you don't, you're a "yellow paper" troll. And if they lined the oceanic trenches with such trolls, I wouldn't shed a tear. Except for the Hoff crab they squished.
None of the claims are factual, based remotely on justice or society, and are certainly not dispassionate.
None at all, as probes tend to travel at uniform speed in a uniform direction unless acted on by a force, and NASA's employees were in the office that day anyway.
Ultima Thule is from Space:1999, not Star Wars, and it's obviously ice built around astronauts after their Eagle exploded for no obvious but script-required reason.

Because it has been known for a VERY long time now that identical twins are not genetically identical.
No, DNA companies are run by people of a furtherance of backgrounds. There is no "most", other than most are run by people still living.
It's now accepted that most people not born as twins are chimera and that identical twins are not absolutely genetically identical.

Applaud REAL achievements.
I predicted it would be better than in the 1970s.

Other than aircraft, ships and orienteers.
An eruption of Yellowstone is more likely to be lava flow than ash. As long as you're outside fifty miles, you'll be ok.

I wouldn't know. I don't eat trucks, too metallic. I know some guys do.
Well, it wasn't strictly a Chinese show, although it was a Chinese story, or strictly a movie, but NBC/BBC's production of Monkey has no equals.
In the worlds before Monkey, primal chaos reigned. Heaven sought order. But the phoenix can fly only when its feathers are grown.

Now get off my lawn!
Burning sake (rice wine) just doesn't generate much energy.
Nothing in the article implied PC. It was all factless trolling, conspuracy theories and malicious troublemaking.
It wasn't political, never mind correct. It was a deliberate attempt to get NASA engineers attacked or killed for the sport.
The probe was already there and the NASA crew were already working.

There won't be metals that far out.
The accretion disk has demonstrably sorted the elements. By the KBO, you're into no element heavier than oxygen.

The scientists are obviously working on NASA's Eagle transport and Moonbase Alpha project. Soon, you shall get the PR through Brian Blessed.
Turbo codes on each block and reed solomon on each tbyte reduce the fanrastic number of errors, but at the cost of massively increasing data sent.
