Is MyGenomeBox accurate for you in general percentages?

[Congolese Rice]

my results:

Africa
35.75%

South Europe
15.43%

West Europe
14.89%

North Europe
12.36%



East Europe
11.46%

3.74%
East
Asia

3.07%
South
America

2.23%
Asia

1.07%
North
America



combine east asia with asia and put it with my african and i get exactly 41.72% african, which is the same as my mixed mode oracle for EthioHelix. very accurate tbh, so are my overal euro percentages.

out of this i can either conclude my dad's side isnt exactly 100% euro, or i didnt inherit exactly 12.5% euro from my mom's side. < which is most obvious to begin with XD


eitherway lemme know if its accurate for you

East Europe
28.68%

South Europe

Seems like accurate?

Trying to download a friend's 23andMe raw data, in a zip file, and getting the same message.

Who would pay 10 dollars for such generic gedmatch esque results.?

[Inquizzzitor]

My resuts:

South Europe: 28.16%
West Europe: 24.34%
North Europe: 18.08%
East Europe: 15.59%
South America: 3.43%

These seem off for me as I have no known East Euro ancestry (23andme only picked up 0.5%) and definitely no known South American ancestry, which no other calculator has ever picked up...

It is free btw, they're giving free 10$.

well i think you gotta intepret the results a bit different. it also gives me 3.74% east asian, 3% south amerindian and 1% north amerindian even though i am only 2-3% taino. i think some asian percentages get overestimated, eitherway my 2.23% asia/arabia and 3.74% are proven berber or east african, and are thus part of my african score (35.75% + 5.97% = 41.72%)

so if you look at general percentages i think the test could be fairly accurate. It gave me a total of 54% euro which is very close to the minimum ancestryDNA gave me (55-57%) and ethiohelix gave me 58% euro on gedmatch, but ive seen that the rest overestimates ur euro slightly by 3-8% for some individuals.

eitherway cool results dude, seems like you are almost fully euro XD to me this is good news to see that you dont get any african either, which means my african isnt overestimated at all.

[Congolese Rice]

yes

aight nice. tbh i think its a pretty cool test, i never realized i was 35-42% african till i actually stopped believing that i was part arab and actually asked my aunts and did some research lol. no test before has plainly given me 35.75% african but if you add certain middle eastern components to my african you get a score of 41%> usually.

even on AncestryDNA if i add all my low confidence euro regions to my african (because 55-57% european is already enough, i cant be much more)



Benin/Togo
10%

Cameroon, Congo, and Southern Bantu Peoples
10%

Germanic Europe
7%

Ivory Coast/Ghana
5%

France
4%

Norway
1%

Nigeria
1%

Ireland and Scotland
1%

Spain
1%

Eastern Africa
1%


^ add all these percentages and thats my african score. even my germanic europe has a range of 0-24%, which basically means its just 0% to me. as long as ancestry and shit gives me low confidence regions i aint gon take it seriously because they cant even proof its real. my african however is on paper and its clearly seen in phenotype as my aunts look atleast 70%> broadly african, most of them have afro-textured hair too for the exception of my mum and 1 of her sisters.

Actually it gave me 3.21% African, whereas the most I have ever seen on other calculators is a little over 1% (0.7% on 23andme). East Asia at 2.63% (no other test ever reflected this) and Asia (west Asia I think) at 3.63% (a little higher than I usually get for West Asia tho not off by much)

Well if you're part hellenic and sicilian then it shouldnt surprise you if you do score those components. East asia is pretty weird on this test and i dont think its actual asian. i also scored 3.74% east asian and i only have amerindian ancestry. so i figured the 3.74% asian was part of my african along with my 2.23% asia (berber/ethiopian) percentage. then id get roughly 41.72% african on there.


eitherway, for me its pretty ok? i know how i should intepret the results atleast so i know not to take literal percentages seriously, like the fact that i score more south european than west or north euro, thats completely bs. but the general perc. is 54% which is super accurate looking at my background. perhaps its true that i inherited less euro from my moms side, or my dad's side is less euro due to their french-berber ancestor, eitherway its a cool test.

35.75% african is the highest ive scored so far but its completely accurate in my family history.

How long does it take to get results?

[TheMaestro]

Omg you have to pay again, fuck it m8 XD

[Congolese Rice]

How long does it take to get results?

ehh, not very long at all XD you get free 10$ when u use the website that u can use to buy tests for free and etc with digital currency. u just buy the ancestry test which will cost almost all ur digital money and youll get results within 30 min i think. mine didnt take too long atleast.


so far i personally find them super accurate. IF i am actually quadroon (25% african) that wouldve ment that one of my grandparents would be 100% african, which would probably be my grandpa since hes dark as fuck, but my grandma is half african and half dutch so that would mean i would've inherited 12.5% african from her side too, which is 37.5%, + 3-4% berber from my dad's side = 40.5-41.5%


i think this test is pretty accurate when it comes to general broad percentages, its not good at specifying ancestry definitely not. as i can see the "African" component includes ALL of africa, including north africa, east africa, madagascar, south africa, etc etc.


eitherway i'd just try it out if i were u, testing calculators is always fun imo
