    Default Does 23andme overestimate the European Percent?

    On WeGene Im significantly less European and more Southasian(and generally Non-European) then on 23andme. Does 23andme overestimate the European percent?

    I have heard that they do. But I did not test and cannot afirm for sure, it also may vary from person to person.
    Those autosomal genetic tests are not 100% accurate, they are a close to reality guesstimate.

    Since you are 56.25% Romani, I guess that WeGene (25.37% Indian + 11.71% MENA = 37.08%) makes more sense for you than 23andMe. When Roma/Gypsies were migrating from India to Europe, they absorbed some Middle Eastern DNA on their way. Later in Europe they absorbed also some European DNA.

    It is not good for pure Europeans because it has very few reference samples from Europe.

    Which is why - for example - some 100% Poles end up scoring like this in WeGene:

    http://www.theapricity.com/forum/sho...=1#post4304178

    36% Hungarian + 34% Russian + 9% English + 9% Finnish + 8% French.

    ================

    But it might be good for some Non-European or partially European people.
