    Default How accurate is WeGene at finding haplogroups from an Autosomal DNA test?

    As the title says, how accurate is WeGene at finding your haplogroups from an Autosomal DNA test? I recently uploaded my AncestryDNA data to WeGene and was given the following results: Paternal Haplogroup G2a2b2a1a1a1a and Maternal Haplogroup R. I have also used the MorleyDNA Y Predictor and that gave me g2a3b1a1a1 for my Paternal Haplogroup (most likey G-Z2022).

    Has anyone else here used WeGene to upload your AncestryDNA data and if so, how has it compared to other sites such as 23andMe, FTDNA, Living DNA, etc in terms of the haplogroups. Are they quite accurate or is it worth doing specific yDNA and mtDNA tests as well?

    I think its doing Y-DNA just fine which it correctly guessed for both me and my father but the mtDNA is completly wrong in my case being assigned to a typicial East Asian one while my Fathers was correct.

    I wouldnt take the results for granted is what im trying to say.

    The Haplogroup prediction they made for me was 2 or 3 letters off (they made it more complicated than my group was). I would still recommend it to anyone so they could get a general idea.
