Without the data sets of Ancestry, 23andme, etc. the raw data isn't very useful for most consumers.
- sudoaza 7y agoI can search for specific genes on it i don't care about ancestry.
- ig1 7y agoIf you're looking for medical testing you're better off getting specific tests for what you're looking for. As you have no guarantees that you won't get errors or no-reads on the SNP you care about and you won't get the QA process the consumer companies have. If you've got specific medical concerns would strongly recommend you speak to a professional medical genealogist, as it's super easy to misinterpret data unless you've got a background in this space.
