DNA Comparisons between Companies
« on: December 08, 2008, 09:14:08 AM »
As I understand it...
Each company that performs a DNA test has a unique value that it assigns to Alleles. While many of the values are the same, certain allele values are different.
Is there a comparison table of adjustments so that, for instance, you could compare FTDNA with Ancestry.com DNA results?

I believe this to be less true today than it used to be. This page from yBase with explanations or this one from ySearch may help.
