23andMe Updates
From the comments on my 23andMe posts:
Ann Turner asks:
Mark, if you or any of your readers are homozygous for the mutation conferring lactase persistence (both alleles are A), I'd like to compare notes on how far the homozygosity extends along the chromosome.
If this applies to you, leave a comment or send me an email and I'll make sure Ann gets it.
Andrew Scheidecker posts:
If you can't wait for 23andme to add support for raw data export, I've released the source code for a program that can extract the raw data from their website:
http://www.scheidecker.net/personal-genome-explorer/It can store the data in its own encrypted file format or export it to CSV.
I haven't had the chance to try this program yet, but look forward to doing so soon.
Finally, Kevin Kelly has an excellent post up on his experience with 23andMe so far. He ends his post:
But for now, I'm looking for ways to make my 23andme results more relevant. I welcome suggestions.
I'm in the same boat.
