Xcode DNA service

They accept raw data from 23andme/Ancestry/FTDNA etc, and for a small fee to see your ancestry origins breakdown..

Do they use the same algorithm and references as DNA.Land, Gencove and GenePlaza?

Finally registered but seems to be a scam or seriously flawed . Registered and got an order confirmation that states email I used to register with. However when I attempt to sign in the email address is rejected.

Just got this.

I think it's LivingDNA in disguise. They for some reason want to collect as many rawdatas as possible. I personally don't trust any new "free" ethnicity estimate except MyHeritage, DNA.LAND, GenePlaza and Gencove. That's all.

Paid for it and registered(or so I thought). Tried logging in but email was rejected .Turned out it was a guest account. They've supposedly set up an account for me but email is still being rejected. Hence unable to upload data. To add to this site was down for large stretches of time. They claim they're upgrading their site.

No idea actually, just know that they are based in India I presume.

[Kriptc06]

Is it another scam like livingdna? I shall wait for others results and opinions.

[Mortimer]

thats why i ordered it, they promise to give your indian breakdown and similarities to indian populations along with global ancestry.

[Mortimer]

I think this is more useful for people with substantial southasian ancestry, probably not as much useful for non-indians.

Global ancestry composition

Know the proportion of DNA you inherited from around the world. A detailed report along with tables and charts of the geographical composition of your DNA.

Indian Ancestry Composition

You may have lived in the South India all your life, but what if your forefathers were Tibeto-Burmese? A report with a detailed description and pie chart on your South Asian Composition.

Closest similarity to ethnic population in India

The genetic distance between you and your closest Indian ethnic group. We compare yur DNA with more than 35 ethnic groups.

Y-haplogroup (Paternal lineage)

The Y chromosome is transferred from father to son. Track your paternal ancestors by following your Y chromosome.

Trying to login to the site I get an 'Email not found' error message. However the tech team for the site are able to login using that email address. I have tried after clearing cache and cookies.

[firemonkey]

Now able to login, but no results within 48 hours..

[firemonkey]

Results. Only gives me European breakdown at sub level. Maternal haplogroup is wrong ,it should be H67. Paternal haplogroup is right as far as it goes.

Descriptions will be in next post.

do you think its accurate?

[firemonkey]

I would say the Ancestry breakdown isn't that good. The East Asia/South Asia and Americas is way too high. At sub population level I've never got Iberian before , and only got Italy/Greece as a trace region(<1%) with Ancestry.

I'm a sucker for these things , but unless you have South Asian/Indian ancestry my opinion is give this one a miss .

[Mortimer]

im dissappointed it gives me only european breakdown and a weird one

43% italian
41% british
and some 17% finnish

on global level

77% european
21% southasian
2% SSA
1% amerindian
