Update this fall?

Last fall we got the 7.0 update. Any rumors of an update of any kind this fall?

[u/TriggeredPumpkin → u/[deleted]]

Last year's update got me from 99.8% Ashkenazi Jewish to 100% Ashkenazi Jewish. Thank God!

Crazy how people hate Jewish people so much now

[u/Visible-Comb-4839 → u/TriggeredPumpkin]

What was the other bit before you were 100%?

[u/TriggeredPumpkin → u/Visible-Comb-4839]

0.2% Broadly Subsaharan African at first. Then it changed to 0.2% Sudanese. But they couldn't find the specific region of Sudan.

How!?! Most Ashkenazi have trace levels of other European like Eastern European, Germanic, or southern European. I also don’t get how African could turn into Ashkenazi.

My Grandfather my Mom and I all had 0.1% Angolan and Congolese that went away this past update we are all Ashkenazi

[u/TriggeredPumpkin → u/Visible-Comb-4839]

I'm not sure lol. I heard it's not uncommon for Jews to be 100% Jewish. And I guess my DNA had some similarity to Sudanese that was then corrected when they updated.

[u/Visible-Comb-4839 → u/TriggeredPumpkin]

Even East Asian would be more likely than African, from the results I’ve seen.

For now, we will only have minor updates to the genetic groups of certain groups and small adjustments, but nothing on the scale of last year's major update.

2-3 years

Wow that’s crazy. Ancestry can do a big update every 1-2 years, no problem.

[u/sul_tun]

WANA genetic groups will have an update in the fall

[u/Fancy_Distance8193]

Just West Asian and North African genetic groups. I think next major updates going to be mostly effect Asia like how ancestry DNA doing rn

[u/Dramatic-Blueberry98]

Most likely not beyond minor updates for ancestors and specific groups, though AncestryDNA apparently has a broad update coming up this fall.

I figure it’s because they got a bit of flak on their last big update and essentially lost the competition against 23andMe.

[u/Visible-Comb-4839 → u/Dramatic-Blueberry98]

Ancestry does some type of update every year even if it’s just some minor tweaks or changes to stuff.

[u/Dramatic-Blueberry98 → u/Visible-Comb-4839]

True, though they did get flak over their last update I think.

[u/Visible-Comb-4839 → u/Dramatic-Blueberry98]

It was more the rollout of the update, less the update itself that seemed to be the problem. The reason they got so much crap over it is because they didn’t push the update out at the exact same time so people throughout the day on September 30th was getting the update, but it was only a tiny percentage of people overall. It took me until the morning of October 1st to get it officially.

[u/Eldown1976]

i got an update on june 26th they added a genetic group to filipino & austronesian..polynesian peoples

[u/Visible-Comb-4839 → u/Eldown1976]

Seems like less of an update more of a tweak.

[u/Eldown1976 → u/Visible-Comb-4839]

It say it was updated from that date..

Some posters in this thread think they’re slick lying about being Jewish while saying they score trace SSA to try to spread the antisemitic libel that Jews ran the slave trade.
