23andMe Update

[Arkan]

23andme went through an update last month.

I was a 100% Somali for years and now they added some foreign shit in my ancestry composition. But it’s probably noise at best. Whoever else did 23andme should check theirs out and share if that’s the case for them too.

It’s not an actual change in our DNA. 23andMe said the update just uses “better reference panels, more populations, and more precise assignments.” But it doesn’t add up.

More variables=more noise.

Went from been 100% Somali to 99.5% Somali & 0.5% Congolese and Southern East African. Apparently it traces back to 3000 years ago. This seems to be the case for many Somalis, differently noise.

Also they said the new update improves error detection in DNA phasing through advanced algorithms. Maybe it does not apply to us Somalis but the update is a better reference to Europeans and indigenous americans. I think it shiffted the whole data targets especially the horn africans. Ethiopians and Eritreans are having the same problem.
