Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: Could the Golden Age of DNA Testing Be Over?
« on: Friday 12 April 24 07:13 BST (UK) »
The optimist in me says that we have not yet even reached the Golden age :-) If/when the sales/marketing teams stop driving the development of the tool sets offered to DNA users (i.e. less on making new ethnicity estimates, DNA traits, etc, and more on tools to help proper research), then i think we could enter the golden age, as we can start making more break thru's on matches/relationships.
For example i have roughly 20k matches on ancestry, but i have only successfully identified around 120 of them, which is a poor hit rate. If i had access to a proper chromosome browser and clustering tools, i could probably increase that by a factor of 10
