Nebula results soon

[Flashball]

I took the Nebula test for whole genome sequencing (30x) and will have the results soon

According to customer service, the status on the site is lagging behind what is in the lab.

"Thanks for getting back to us.

Apologies for the delay! There was a delay in updating the online tracker to check the progress of your sample. But I can confirm that your sample passed the QC phase. I assume that they are now preparing the reports so please allow us a few more days to complete the sequencing of your sample.

In the meantime, don't hesitate to reach us if you need any assistance. We appreciate your support and patience.


Kind regards,
Matt

I will post the results here.

Update

Cool do they give Ancestry results too?

Cool do they give Ancestry results too?

I don't know, it seems to me that they have something similar although not really ("deep ancestry"), but at the time they had a project with FTDNA for "NEBULA" version of "autosomal ancestry", but they had to give up for some reason

Anyway, what matters is the raw data you can use, the rest...

100% of your genome against 0.2% of your genome (23andme, Myheritage, LivingDna, etc.)

I have some interest in this test to be honest but there are two things that put me off. The first is the need to become a member and pay a monthly fee every month or get a lifetime membership for $275. The second is the 100 GB of Raw Data. How would you send a 100 GB file to Davidksi to generate your G25 for example, and does he have the capacity to process a file of that size?

I paid 165 euros (175 dollars) for a year of subscription to the site + the DNA test 30x complete genome sequencing... It depends on the periods, it is sometimes more expensive and sometimes less,
And I can cancel my subscription at any time, so it's not a problem


For the raw data, here is what customer service told me:

"We do sequence your entire genome and provide you all of the raw data! About 20,000 genes and ~40mil variants! The subscription (you selected yearly) provides access to the reports, traits, the aforementioned deep ancestry, and genome exploration tools. So you can look at any gene, condition or variants you might be interested in."


There is a converter too.

You can download your raw data of 300 MB and convert it in a gedmatch compatible format

"Nebula Genomics offers a free tool (a set of Python scripts) for converting the data format which they use (VCF) to the genealogical standard "23andMe" format (fields rsid, chromosome, position, genotype).

The script, and how to use it, is described and can be accessed here:

https://blog.nebula.org/how-to-start...-genomic-data/

For this to work, you'll need Python 3 installed on your computer. For simplicity, I'd recommend installing the Anaconda distribution of Python 3.7 (or whatever the current version). All of the commonly used optional features are included.

That 23andMe-style format (fields rsid, chromosome, position, genotype) should be compatible for sites including MyHeritage, DNA.land, Family Tree DNA, and other sites that permit users to upload DNA user data for cousin matching.

Having DNA listed on your profile is really just an aid for cousin matching (within those databases) and marking off DNA confirmation on the profiles of your mutual ancestors. "

I'll wait for your results and feedback then. I want to better understand what are the advantages and disadvantages of this company. I've been a little tired of always using the same data from 23andMe since 2017, it's time to test something different.

Nice. One question though, isn't genetic testing illigal in France?

That's what I want to show: If there are advantages and disadvantages I would say so and share them on this page.


Myheritage and 23andme recently stopped sending DNA kits to France, so for my brother I opted for full 30x Nebula sequencing (which I paid him)

But on this page you will have my results, not those of my brother.

If I can download my 300MB of raw data (which isn't huge) and convert it to a Gedmatch compatible file, that would be great enough.

Positive point: the customer service is very responsive.
