View Full Version : 23andme interprets Siberian/East Asian segments as Anatolian

Was a bit curious since no one in my family has any Turkish or Tatar matches anywhere, so had to check closer.

Look at the Anatolian segment on chromosome 20

Same segment in Eurogenes K13
A combination of Siberian, East Asian and Amerindian, with some Baltic and East Med in between

The origin seems to be from my dad mostly, but the bit in the 20M region seems to come from my mom (interpreted as Amerindian for me, but Siberian for mom)

Does anyone have any Tatar kits, preferably from my region, so like Crimean?

Sometimes their ancestry reports are really unreliable. But it's kind-of the same for me on DNA.land where I get a ton of West-Asian (I think you and some other members told me that the East-Asian and Siberian hides there).

All of them are useless. Only gedmatch is useful imo.

Yes. I explained this situation many times, I can repost here if you didn't see before. Moreover, remember that we argued about having an Anatolian component among Romanians and I claimed like ~5% Anatolian is not that atypical for them because some of them already appear as carrying from 2 to 4% East Eurasian in Gedmatch. This admixture evaluated as Anatolian in 23andme always(even Central Asians such as Kazakh gets 10-30% Anatolian which is funny enough)

I'm also interested in Crimean Tatars. If anyone has...

I dont trust the chromosome paintings. My Greatuncle is half Anatolian on Chromosome 13 but on Gedmatch its a combination of Baltic,NA and Westmed which is the smallest of these components. Literally zero Siberian or Wesr Asian. Either one of them is wrong.
