Asian ancestry with WeGene dna test via uploading raw dna file, from My Heritage (2018) to their website.

Results in the next post...

I received my dna results back from WeGene. I specifically took the test with them, because I have very mixed ancestry or multiple ethnicities. They are supposed to be good at detecting different kinds of Asian ethnicities or have a larger database of samples they use. They're also located in China. Since I'm half Asian and most Western dna tests, don't break down the Asian ethnicities, I wanted to see what their report could give me. So, if you know you're full European, for example, then I wouldn't suggest takings their test.

", WeGene is a genetic testing company headquartered in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, China . Founded in 2014, WeGene specializes in providing DNA testing services tailored for individuals of East Asian descent, particularly focusing on Chinese populations."

For perspective or the bigger picture. The two photos below, show that they go back about 7-8 generations to test for Modern Ancestry. Most of the Modern ancestry dna tests like 23 & Me, My Heritage, Ancestry, etc. only go back about 300 years. So if I had ancestors from the 1300's or Colonial times, these tests would not pick up on that, even though 1400's were only approximately 526 to 625 years ago. By contrast, Ancient ancestry tests will match you to actual skeletons and chromosomes from thousands of years ago. So, they're a bit more accurate than some Modern dna tests that only compare your dna to populations. It's also better if they actually match your chromosomes for more accuracy. In addition to all of that, a dna test is only as good as it's panel group they use or sample sets. So, if you don't match to the particular individuals they use, then the results may say you're not that ethnicity, when you actually are. Which is part of why I wanted a dna test that had a more refined breakdown of Asian.

As a side note to photo below: I do like that I have some Neanderthal ;-). It makes me feel a bit ancient.

Most of the Modern dna tests offer medical information like what diseases you might be at risk for, etc.. I generally only look at certain parts of them. Unless you want to be super stressed out reading through all of the illnesses you can get or things wrong with your biology. Also, while I have found a lot of the WeGene medical reports to be pretty accurate, they are not supposed to be used as a diagnoses and also things can also be by chance. You don't know if you're going to have a disease in later life or not as you get older. Some of it is lifestyle, overall health and what you eat, your environment, like being around people who smoke affecting your otherwise healthy lungs, all the time, etc.. Also, while I was amused that their test said I have good long term memory for specific events; remembering what happened, how I felt, details and it was very true about me...I also wonder how a dna test can tell you about your personality. So, who knows about those parts of some dna tests. More on that later.

As always, I'm not a dna expert. But, like many people who are exploring their dna I am only sharing.

@SWelchPhotos Thanks:) We strive to share scientific details with users to help them understand their genome.

WeGene is the first personal omics testing service provider worldwide, not just a genome testing company.

Epigenomics is the most accepted biological age test technology. Dr. Weng@WeGene (the handsome boy in the video) spent two years to develop it.

几年前就做过了 @wegenecom 的基因检测
没想到前段时间去香港参加 @USDesci 组织的 #DeSci 峰
会
认识了 @wegenecom 的创始人 @chengangcs
回沪后就被安排了他们公司还没有上市的新产品—甲基

@TRANNYKHAN @shabbster9 @BharatObama @ZZZZ0123412 Lots of SNPs used in E11 are not covered by 23andme V5, sorry.

[shabby @shabbster9]

@BharatObama @TRANNYKHAN @ZZZZ0123412 its because wegene's northern chinese sample is very southern
so they use mongol as a proxy
its also easier to get tibeto-burman on wegene

@DFataliste @Topiramatee Oui, nous fournissons une analyse de santé complète aux utilisateurs de 23andMe.

Yes, we provide a comprehensive health analysis to 23andme users.

[WeGene @wegenecom]

Protecting your genomic data, the most private data, is WeGene's highest priority.

[Andrew Ferguson @AFergusonFTC]

The good news is that 23andMe’s public statements indicate that they will keep these protections. But, going forward, any purchaser of 23andMe should expressly agree to keep those protections in place. Protecting user data should be a priority.

The 23andMe Special Committee released news today indicating their plan to take the company through the Chapter 11 process.   While I am disappointed that we have come to this conclusion and my bid was rejected, I am supportive of the company and I intend to be a bidder.   I have resigned as CEO of the company so I can be in the best position to pursue the company as an independent bidder. 

Nineteen years ago, when I co-founded 23andMe, the direct to consumer industry did not exist and most people had no idea why they would ever want to see their genome.   So much has changed.   There is now a thriving direct to consumer industry and over 15 million people are now 23andMe customers.   These customers are continuing to learn about their family relationships and how to optimize their health thanks to the incredible team of individuals at 23andMe who innovate and help customers gain insights from their genetic information.

What made so many of our innovations possible were the 85% of our customers who opted in to research.  Thanks to them they have empowered an incredible platform for discovery.  You enabled our pursuit into novel drug discovery and our 50 programs with GSK.   In addition, over 250 publications have come out because of you and we have meaningfully impacted the research world.   Thank you.

We have had many successes but I equally take accountability for the challenges we have today. There is no doubt that the challenges faced by 23andMe through an evolving business model have been real, but my belief in the company and its future is unwavering.  Consumers are rising up and asking for more control over their health and want greater knowledge about how to be healthy and why they may have health issues. We fought for consumers to have direct access to their information and for them to have choice and transparency with respect to their personal data.   As I think about the future, I will continue to tirelessly advocate for customers to have choice and transparency with respect to their personal data, regardless of platform.

Since 2006, we have built an incredible consumer brand with one of the world's largest and most diverse genetic communities. Our foundation was the trust and respect of our customers, and they were always the guiding light on how we made decisions. If I am fortunate enough to secure the company’s assets through the restructuring process, I remain committed to our long-term vision of being a global leader in genetics and establishing genetics as a fundamental part of healthcare ecosystems worldwide.

Ancestry Composition analysis relies on the reference panel and admixture algorithm. Generally, 23andMe's service is optimized for Caucasians, and WeGene's service is optimized for Asians.

@Hakushu17 @CPhotographyC1 台灣都是找23andme做，但多數人的結果都是日韓和蒙古的基因比較顯性...網路上有很多分享，你不妨自己看。
而這些做出日韓和蒙古血統的，多半都堅稱自己祖上都是漢人...所以準確度如何，不好說。
