Have I come to the 'end' of my dna adventure?

[Adamm]

I have a feeling that I've come to an end to my DNA adventure, I've done almost everything (when it comes to DNA testing) and right now It's just waiting until new samples are discovered.

I did the following:

-MyHeritage
-23andMe
-YSEQ panel
-WGS (dantelabs)
-Yfull

What is there more to discover?

Any thoughts on dantelabs?

They are very cheap when they have a discount, I bought my kit for 150$ while normally they are around 600$. So the good thing about dantelabs is that they're cheap, the bad thing is that they have very bad customer service and delay time. Normally they promise to deliver within 2 months but in fact they delivered between 3-4 months with me, however for the money its worth it. They provide all the important files you need (fastQ, Bam, vcf) and they also give you a free health report. With the raw files they provide you can test deeper for your mtDNA and add it on Yfull + Y-DNA and also add it on yfull. They also provide autosomal DNA so you can generate autosomal files.

It's neverending story. Imagine that soon will be discovered new ancient NA samples for example.

Yeah indeed, that's what I mean by "now It's just waiting until new samples are discovered". But when it comes to testing myself I've come to an end. Now what's left is for new studies and samples to be discovered, new G25 samples to play with and maybe someone will develop a more better concept than G25 in the near future. Who knows..

But you don't have haplogroups tested yet?

I have tested my terminal haplogroup (I'm also on Yfull).

Well, if you already know everything about your ethnic background and don't have any questions regarding your ethnic and cultural identity, then yes, that may be it. However you can still follow the news from the DNA world.

I am personally becoming less interested and probably won't be posting here as frequently for a number of reasons. One of the reasons is that I've been here mostly for Gedmatch and since it's largely gone out of fashion (particularly my efforts barely attracted any attention), I don't have much else to say. As for the constant G25 spamming, I don't really care for it. A few calcs and models might be good and the tool itself might be useful as well but now that every nobody can create their own "run" this excess of countless new models does not appeal to me personally. With Gedmatch we had a website with a limited number of carefully crafted calculators and a huge database which made the process more interesting and entertaining.

The last thing i am planning to buy is a YSEQ panel and i will be done.
