Does AncestryDNA or FTdna work for this?

I have created a spreadsheet for us to write down our results of genetic tests on eye and skin color. In the end if this is successful we could make frequencies, maps, etc.

It is free to be edited, anyone can do it. If you do not know or have errors, I will correct them.

I just updated mine mate (as accurate as possible in the self descriptions).

Look in your raw data file, if it's recent they may have tested those genes.

There's actually a load of genes that affect skin colouring and ability to tan etc. One of these is the IRF4 gene which you can check. It is the strongest indicator of freckling. T is the risk allele. I do have freckles and this is my result.



My daughter has a shitload of freckles and sure enough she is T/T.



There are also other genes that will affect freckling and tanning ability but I thought I'd just post this one if people want to check. I might post others depending on my mood.
