Neanderthal ancestry

[laetoli]

I've had my genome tested for ancestry by both 23andMe and FTdna and I've downloaded the raw data (all the A, C, G and Ts). 23andMe say that I have 2.5% Neanderthal ancestry. Is there any way I can find out precisely which genes, or more exactly, phenotypes I have inherited from Neaderthals?

Thanks,
Paul

dear laetoli,
another tool
is the geno2 next generation test
can tell you also how much % neaderthal ancestery you got
https://shop.nationalgeographic.com/product/genographic-2.0-kits/geno-2.0-next-generation-genographic-helix-dna-ancestry-kit--u.s.-delivery
it will look like this:
8380

with kind regards
adam

p.s
in another forum middle eatern people score 0.6-0.9 %
and europeans higher.... :)

which is not correct

[kingjohn]

dear bicicleur ,
how can we know the real %
of neaderthal ancestery in middle eastern and europeans ?
and how do you know that those % is not correct ?

it is a well-established fact that Neanderthal admixture occured abt 55-60 ka somewhere near the Levant or the Zagros Mts and all non-SSA people have 1.5-2.5 % Neanderthal DNA

or is there another definition for Neanderthal ancestry?

As I have just learned:
"There is undeniable skeletal evidence that Neanderthals evolved and became less robust and closer to Homo Sapiens over time, starting at least 100,000 years ago."

[kingjohn]

so do you think the numbers
geno2 next generation give is not reliable enough ?
do you consider 23andme more precise in neaderthal ancestery ?

Adam,

I don't know what geno 2 or 23andme consider as Neanderthal ancestry, but

The proportion of Neanderthal-derived ancestry was estimated to be 1–4% of the Eurasian genome.[2] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archaic_human_admixture_with_modern_humans#cite_no te-greends-2) In 2013, the same team of researchers revised the proportion to an estimated 1.5–2.1%.

I have taken the test at "my heritage".
I uploaded my results at promethease and my reading of Neanderthal DNA is 0%. I believed that only some subsaharian Africans are free of it.
I am 99% European R1B
Can that be correct?

[firetown]

I only know what you are telling us here. But based on that, my somewhat educated guess leads me to believe that your test results are wrong at least somewhere.
