What's new at GEDmatch - i4GG 2018
Videos of me talking about GEDmatch tools at previous i4gg conferences are available from http://i4gg.org/
I also have many blog posts about GEDmatch, see http://blog.kittycooper.com/tag/gedmatch/
My presentation slides are always available at the slides site - slides.com/kittycooper
Links in my slides are all clickable!
GEDmatch has updated their terms of service ...
Immediately after the GSK announcement I changed all my cousin's kits to research and then asked them whether they wanted to be in this database
Changing a kit to research means it will not come up in anyone's one-to-many but can still be used by you in its own one-to-many and in a one-to-one
Some GEDmatch Statistics
- 1.2M kits on GEDmatch + GENESIS
- Daily 900-1000 kits are uploaded
- The Day of the GSK: deletions = uploads
- After GSK, deletions quickly tapered off
Soon GEDmatch will stop taking uploads, but that home page will still be available, time to switch to GENESIS
GEDmatch was founded to let you compare autosomal DNA results from different companies with powerful tools
The problem became that the various companies changed to newer chips and test for different not completely overlapping sets of SNPs
The GENESIS one to many for my LivingDNA kit
Kits uploaded directly to GENESIS get assigned kit ids that start with a pair of random letters while migrated kits keep the A,T,M, and H single letters
My brother's Ancestry kit that was uploaded to Genesis
Kits migrated to GENESIS will show an overlap of 0 with other migrated kits - they are all on the old GEDmatch template and have not yet been cross matched with the Genesis kits
My brother's migrated Ancestry kit
The Genesis home page is attractive and much more compact than the GEDmatch home page
The Edit page for a kit is very intuitive
Functions available at GENESIS so far
FIR only version of my comparison of my brother and my Ancestry kits
GENESIS X one to one, me and my brother
Functions available at GENESIS so far
No Change

Multiple Kit Analysis is only on the Tier 1 menu - but you can always get there by checking the boxes and clicking Visualization Options
The multiple kit selection form lets you add more kits by typing or selecting from your list of kits in a drop down
Same as GEDmatch
Same as GEDmatch
Many new features for Multi Kit Analysis
Being able to do a matching segment search for just the selected kits is a new feature
Being able to do a triangulation for just the selected kits is a new feature
My Chromosome Browser at Genesis
Some new matrix options
the Autosomal matrix is clickable to the one to one
The Fully Identical Region CM's Matrix Comparison - only siblings and other doubly related people have these FIRs
Except for Q matching the Tier 1 tools have the same functionality as GEDmatch
So what is missing in GENESIS??
TAG groups are missing
All the GEDcom related functions are only available at GEDmatch
Some experimental Tier 1 tools
- Relationship Tree Projection
- Triangulation Groups
- My Evil Twin Phasing
Some of the fun not too serious stuff
- Eye Color
- Archaic Matches
More Missing Tools

What's new at GEDmatch - i4GG 2018
What's new at GEDmatch this year is the acceptance of its usage for Law Enforcement. The other new thing is the latest GENESIS site. Soon all GEDmatch kits will be migrated to that new database
