Which DNA ancestry test is the best?

[HarrierDuBois]

I will buy one soon and I am curious which test is the best one.

 

[Cidre enjoyer]

Idk but not MyHeritage
The categories are too broad

 

[Beetlejuice]

23andme and Ancestry are the best

 

[HarrierDuBois]

23andme and Ancestry are the best

Keep in mind I am european, I read some tests were more suited for north americans while others were better for europeans.

If u are european is even better and precise i would say.
Many americans are way too mixed(Irish, italian,german,english) and because of that it gets harder to say exactly the background.

Have you done one yourself?

myheritage test for more SNPs than 23andme, wtf are you talking about

 

[ElBastardo]

23andMe over Ancestry; 23andme lets you download raw data (Ancestry no) so you can upload it to GEDmatch and run more detailed searches. Ancestry has the largest database, but 23andme has that feature, which I feel is more accurate. Myheritage, not so great due to small database.

 

[Deleted member 13787]

to answer OP, if you have the money go for nebula genomics' more expensive test. if not, ancestry tests for the most snps. 23and does test for maternal haplogroup, though

Elab since I don't understand.

?
you can download raw data from ancestry
and myheritage tests for more snps than 23andme

myheritage tests for more gna diversity essentially. you will get more genetic info
uneducated people think its bad because the results on their site are weird, but its kinda irrelevant. a dna test is much more than the testing company's single ancestry report, most of your uses for the test would be from 3rd party sites

 

[ElBastardo]

Ancestry may have changed that after I took my test (I note I see their blurb about it from 2022). My heritage still has a much much smaller database than Ancestry or 23andme.

So myheritage is best for normal price range? Excluding the expensive variants.

ancestry>myheritage>23andme
23andme's sole advantage is that it tests for mtDNA, but most people dont care about that

My main focus is to see ethnicity and geography, don't really care about the rest.

Unfortunately there aren't any super detailed tests for Asians like there are for people of European ancestry (there are the Chinese ones, but ion wanna have my genetic info stored in some CCP labratory).

dna testing companies' reports are garbage accross the board. you can find a lot about your asian ancestry if you do third party testing with your DNA data

Yellow is yellow so that is not super interesting tbh.

Jk.

I mean the answers they give you
Broad categories like "north African" "north west european" etc

Does that show individual countries or broad areas?

 

[ElBastardo]

Be careful you may come with some shocking, horrifying results like I did...5% curry. The horror.

look up some vids im not sure

What's more to say? You purchase the DNA test and you find out what you want.
Y-DNA for the haplogroup.
Mitochondrial DNA for the boring stuff.
Get a normal test for the percentages and stuff

Have you taken one?

 

[CFW432]

23andme, familytreedna, and illustrative dna if you want your ancient dna.

 

[LiteralCaucasian]

Have you taken one?

Yes, I bought the haplogroup one a few months ago. If I get J2, R1b, or R1a, I will kill myself.
G2a or death.

Why not care about mtdna as well as y dna. My y dna is the only reason why I'm not a complete subhuman, but my mtdna tells me why I do have subhuman blood in me.

 

[LiteralCaucasian]

Which one do you want?

I think I made it pretty clear that G2a is the one I want, lol.
R1b = Armenian
J2 = Azeri and North Caucasian
R1a = Slavic
G2a = PURE KAVKAZ GENES

Cope, your y dna ancestors got cucked hard by all the other y dnas you listed.

R dna is indoeuropean chads

g2a used to be dominant in europe, now its almost extinct because the males got cucked by indo europeans

Yeah, even Ötzi the Ice Man was G2a.
Really makes you think how big the Proto-Kartvelian ethnos was.
