    Eurogenes K13 and K15 are schizophrenic for me. The only way the tools could be supreme is if there was only one tool that was accurate for all European cases or if there was a clear dichotomy e.g. K13 for North vs South and K15 for East vs West which there isn't. It might be the case that K13 is best for Europeans mixed with Asiatic etc.. but I see no discussions of this nor any clear documentation.

    The documentation that existed for K13 and k15 were highly amateur on a blog and was not that clear to me.

    Eurogenes K13 has my number one closest modern population as Irish and K15 as SouthWest English but one group is celtic and the other is Germanic so this is schizophrenic nonsense.

    If I had to pick one for myself it would K15 because I think I might be closest to the Cornish/Devonshire due to heavy Celtic Britonnic mixture but that K13 says contradicts it significantly is still annoying.

    What do you think is the best Admixture Project? Without K13 and K15

    Probably this : https://cran.r-project.org/web/packa.../tutorial.html

    ^ but it is nerdy and combining/merging files can be like rocket science

    I think there is some wisdom in 23andme having general categories like British/Ish and French/German but the problem with these companies such as 23adndme and AncestryDNA is perhaps they can be biased in trying to tell people want they want to hear.

    sequencing.com is probably the best genetic site for the end consumer non-scientist for everything not just admixture but it is expensive but you get what you pay for. It is like 23andme but more scientific and less biased.
