This is really interesting thank you for posting this. After having bought both 23andMe and LivingDna whcih do you recommend as an albanian? Is the raw data from LivingDna useful for things like Promethease yet?
Im sorry for noob, but what is more specific, R-M417 (which you have on your description) or the Z283. THanks for the informative reply btw
Raw data wont be available for a few more weeks so I am uncertain. Though it will be uploadable to genesis gedmatch.
Personally fro an Autosomal test I find it better than 23andme. 23 announced a shift in focus to medical. So I doubt their results will get more refined. For a new company, they are fairly on point. With exception of this random south asian, the results are consistant with other calculators. I presume Albanians will predominantly get Aegean as a result. Perhaps west balkan is more slavic? Idk.
So far(excluding raw data use at this time) For the price and specificity, I would recommend LivingDNA over 23andme. I eventually plan to add AncestryDNA more for match purposes. Doing FGC for Yelite, so I wonder if I will stay Z283 or go further downstream.
From the back and forth emails, as I understand it, LivingDNA tests downstream clades too. I assume then that I was negative so they kept me at Z283. No Idea lol.
Very interesting. How much pay? It was some discount?
In my opinion, you get a surprising big amount of English etc. For an Albanian, except if you say that's somehow right. And I don't think the (small) amount of South Asian is that weird. As you probably know, Roma come from South Asia, and Roma people aren't quite rare in the Balkans, so you there may be some in your dna somewhere. I don't mean anything bad with this, just saying the most logical reason for some random south asian. But that English...I really like this company for the amount of reference populatiosn and regions it has, but they like to put in there some random english a bit too much...
