Re: YDNA Warehouse STR Uploads and Updates

Marcia,

?

The BAM file is the BigY raw data file. Originally access to it came with the purchase of the BigY, but as only relatively few people requested the file and the provision of the file was not simple for FTDNA, FTDNA separated the BAM from their BigY product maybe 3 or 4 years ago.

You do not have the Raw Data Product (BAM File) listed in your product history, so if you wanted it then you would have to purchase it from FTDNA.

Hi,

? I manage my deceased father¡¯s DNA and had the Big Y DNA performed. His name is Richard McAvoy. I am not sure what results you have. I do not know what a BAM is and if you have my father's BAM. I have attached the his Big Y STR CSV.?

Thanks, Marcia McAvoy

Hi folks,

Just a note for those who have participated in the past, the YDNA Warehouse is now importing Big Y STR CSVs beyond the 111 marker panels.? We will be using these to compute the ancestral values at each tree branch and adding them to the .? Currently, 8 of the 374 of you who have provided a BAM have also added the STR file with extended values.

CSV files are uploaded to a FTDNA STR or SNP Panel kit under your test Subject.

If the row above already exists click the Manage button, and follow the instructions at the bottom of the page.



And finally... the updates.? I have successfully realigned the 374 BAMs already in my possession to the telomere-to-telemore reference, CHM13 and HG002, being internally piloted by FTDNA's?G?ran Runstr?m.? These samples along with 1000 other fairly random ones are running through??to begin constructing a tree using this data.? As new potential branches are found under CTS4466, I'll share my findings here.

?also has access to the VCF and coverage BED files for this new accession.? Hopefully, you'll be able to see new updates show up there as well.

As always if you have trouble getting logged in or finding where to start send me a note directly by email.? We'll get you sorted out.

Thanks,

James Kane

PS: ?I plan to consolidate the STR, Big Y-500 and Big Y-700 tests into a single test unit in the future.? This will bring us more inline with how you all are used to a Big Y-700 being the test that gives you STRs these days at FTDNA.
