Family Inheritance: Advanced

From ISOGG Wiki

Family Inheritance Advanced is a feature of 23andMe's Personal Genome Service. It can be accessed under Ancestry Labs in the 23andMe user interface.

This lab compares participant's DNA, bit by bit to see what segments are shared with close and distant family. It examines Relative Finder matches in more detail, displaying where DNA segments start and end and how DNA is transmitted across multiple generations by comparing multiple family members against a person in question. The threshold for matching segments is five Centimorgans, in contrast to the 7 cM threshold for Relative Finder. Therefore, it is possible to discover potential relatives not included in the Relative Finder feature.
