What's the best tool in Gedmatch to detect SSA %?

[Mixdguy17]

Well if you want to eliminate as much noise as possible then the next step would be Global 25 (the one based on coordinates from Davidski, not on GEDmatch coordinates). I suggest a model with Amerindians, Spaniards, Italians and Yoruba. You could pop in a Sephardi too, as many Spaniards who colonised the New World might have had some Sephardi.

Yeah definitely! As soon as I have 12 bucks I'll Buy it but I think it's likely I'ts what 23andMe predicted 1/8 Native, 1/8 SSA

Not 22, just World.

Yep, lines up with the rest of the results!

If you are majority Spanish, then some of the African might be from Spain, not directly from Africa and not literally Sub-Saharan. So I would weigh the Gedmatch scores against those from 23andme.

Thanks man, gonna give them a try!

It won't work well, those specialty calculators even ones like k15 aren't accurate unless you are from a certain demographic. If you wan't semi accurate results I would go with Dodecad or MDLP because they are meant for a wider demographic, but the numbers are always gonna be off.

Nobody wants to have Sub-Saharan African ancestry.

I wonder why...

Damn, well at least all put me in the same range as in 23 and me, so i guess is for the most part mostly accurate, at least I am now I am at least 1/8 , good to see that the Amerindian is also constant

Are you sure PuntDNAL K13 is accurate? I get 1.09 South African and 0.07 West African there. Or I have unknown black ancestry?..
