How do you think we can improve the results and calculators that rely on autosomal dna? I think the next step is to have inheritance calculators (calculators able to decipher inherited traits both ethnically and genes that are dominant from ancestors to present day) and calculators that can pick up on recombination.

I mean I think the first step isn't done yet in order to move forward to the next one. Estimates still aren't the most accurate, even 23andme which is arguably the most accurent atm can do better (like working more on pin-poiting ancestry instead of grouping it within a "Broadly" category). In general I think this step would be considered over with just at the moment estimates could be counted on as both accurate and detailed (i.e. have the ability to distinguish between two very similar ethnicities with high success rates).
The next thing I would really appreciate is more Jewish oriented (obviously) but could probably benefit other groups as well but I would love to see the option to futher expand certain types of ancestries. (Ex. someone comes out 100% Ashkenazi yet you can see the further breakdown of the exact percentage of West Asian/European components). This could probably be applied to other mixed/hybrid populations (Horners for example).
