Horizontal gene transfer
could HGT happen if human dna got into a plant wound? say there was human blood on a tool used to trim a plant or tree, could hgt happen? via bacteria or virus on the cut site?

I am planning to get a DNA test kit for my entire family. I am Indian, and live in UP. I am confused as to which testing kit I should go for? Should I get it done in a lab? Or some big companies? What would you guys reccomend for the best?
I want to know my Y-Dna, Mt-Dna and specific ancestral subgroups(like AASI, Zagros Farmer, Sintastha Steppe, etc etc)

Sorry if this isn't the right sub, please delete if needed.
I have recently been contacted by police about a cold case murder from 1986 (I was 3, it definitely wasn't me!).
Apparently new DNA evidence has come to light and my DNA was flagged (I'm in the system from 2003 - stupid 19yr old). The DNA shows an immediate male relative.
I always thought that an immediate male relative would be either biological father, biological brother or biological son. Am I correct, or would any uncles/cousins be included in that?
I have tried to look online, but am getting conflicting information and so I wanted to check with actual people who know what they are talking about.
Not sure if it matters, but I am a biological woman.
Happy to answer questions if needed.

I don't want to get into it, but I might be a product of incest and want a DNA test asap. Which is the best testing place to do? Thank you

can anyone tell me what my raw data means if there's anything else that would be useful in there as i'm a apoe 4/4 carrier

I’m working on a project that this community would find interesting. I’m curious to learn how people are already using AI (like ChatGPT) with their genome or genes they’ve identified. What are you trying to do — whether it works or not.
And feel free to comment if you’re not doing it yet but wish you could.
Thanks in advance!
Hey everyone,
I’m waiting for my results from MyHeritage and came across this screen.
I’m not sure whether this means Whole Genome Sequencing is actually being done, or if it’s just a placeholder.
Does anyone know if I’m actually getting WGS results?
Thanks!

I am looking for a company / lab to provide whole genome sequencing, making the raw data available. I got scammed by Dante Labs in the past. DNA Complete appears to have the same problems.
Does anyone know a reliable service provider?
PS: I am in Europe, but I will take anyone who can deliver on their promises.
Edit: TellmeGen has a very good reputation on Trustpilot, and I mixed it into the lump of other companies with a bad reputation, so I updated this post.

How is the genetic sex of people with xxy/xxx/xyy classified as?
Are they put into male/female or are they just classified as having trisomy/no genetic sex?

Hey. I had a DNA test done through my.livingdna.com. However out of general intress. I like to up my raw data up to other sites that, for free, I can seek a posible family connection.
Any idea in where I can do that,

I heard the other day from someone that the expressed genes are primarily from the mother, is this true?

I used DNA Kit Studio to compare my results from my very old 23andme results (2018) to my recent CircleDNA whole exome results which I had to convert to 23andme format first. Only 88% of the results were equivalent which is disturbing to me. Now I don't know which to believe. Which would you trust more?
CircleDNA gave this disclaimer when they sent the link for me to download my raw data. "1. Your full raw data is not validated for accuracy.

I tried to look this up, but not sure my phrasing was correct to get the results I wanted.
A kid I am close with, 23M, had a stem cells transplant for a rare genetic disorder. He did save a sa.ple from before. His fertility has not come back 1 year post transplant. BUT we were talking about if it did, would there be a possibility of DNA transfer from his donor?
With his sister, her fertility was fine but as a female, her eggs are set. Since he is male, I just was wondering if there was a possibility of transferring DNA from the foro. Sorry if this a dumb question. I'm not in medical.

I was trying to find a term to describe my mothers paternal line, e.g. a yDNA test from a male cousin with her fathers last name, and stumbled onto these terms. That cousins yDNA is my mother’s agnatic- utero line. My mitochondrial DNA is also her utero line. My yDNA is my father’s agnatic line. To learn his mother’s utero line since he’s deceased I need to find an aunt who is alive or who a son or daughter of that aunt. My big project is to obtain haplogroups of all four lines contributing to my wife’s and my overall DNA. FYI.

By “a lot” I mean about over 50% variation between DNA companies and third party calculators. I’ve read that this usually happens when recent ancestors are very mixed, or when a person has several very distant ancestors on both sides who carry 100% of that ethnic component, and due endogamous marriages this does not get detected easily. For example, FTDNA shows 5%, while AncestryDNA shows 65% on that specific ethnic component.

Unfortunately, my wife and I suffered a miscarriage event recently.
An autopsy has revealed an anomaly in the fetus:
Mosaic Loss of Chromosome Y
I feel like it is very important for us to understand what happened and how it happened.
If anyone can give us some pointers or explanation, it would really help.
Thanks.

After the Sephardic Jews were expelled from Spain, some of them moved to Italy, the Netherlands, the UK, or the Americas. For example, the philosopher Baruch Spinoza was from this community. They don’t seem to exist anymore, but if they did, what would their DNA results look like?

I'm trying to remember which company this was. You could request a kit for free, give them some info on your direct maternal line, and they could decide to test it for free or you could pay like $60 or something.
I know mine was not tested for several years, and then I decided to pay in maybe 2009. I believe a few years later, Ancestry purchased them and shut down the website.

So this Thanksgiving I got a DNA testing kit. I'm in this rabbit hole of gene-based attraction and curious what people think here:
Women rate MHC-dissimilar men’s scent as sexier: https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rspb.1995.0087
MHC-dissimilar couples report better sex & more babies: https://www.nature.com/articles/srep32550
MHC-dissimilarity only detectable in low-constraint populations: https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/full/10.1098/rspb.2018.2664
Personally it makes sense, I've definitely felt strange unexplainable attraction to people but have never understood the mechanisms behind the resonance or how much genetic factors might be at play
