I'm working on DMT 3.0. Trying to allow you to identify what line your triangulation groups are from.

From Ancestry DNA, the DNAGedcom Client can only download the people you match to and the people you are ICW (in common with) along with the total match length. But Ancestry DNA does not have a chromosome browser and does not make individual segment match information available, so there's no segment match data ...

Thanks, Joe. I'm trying to see what capabilities GMP has and if there's any way I might be able to share information to/from it with DMT. I'm not prepared to spend the time right now to go through a 300 page User Guide but I feel fine following Leah's tutorials instead who is as close to a guru on GMP as you ...

tewilso: What I can’t tell from your example is who is matching who. Unfortunately, and especially for smaller segments under 7 cM, chance matches can happen because the companies are comparing both parental chromosomes of one person with both parental chromosomes of another chromosome. And that is at ...
