PeterPan Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Feeling dumb that I can't figure this out, even with google. Say you have genes and they list as (C;T) for the ordered pair. Does the order tell you which parent it came from? Like does that mean the C came from the mother and the T came from the father? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maize Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 (edited) Sorting SNP's by parental chromosome is called phasing; the data you receive from companies such as 23andMe is not phased. Data from medical genetic testing is also typically not phased. https://isogg.org/wiki/Phasing#Genetic_genealogy_companies Edited January 18, 2018 by maize 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
