How many #basepair do each of the dna kit companies sequence?
If #Mitochandrial is About 17,000 basepair, where is the market that does a complete sequence of the smallest whole unit?
I read from Ancestry.com own website that they skip around reading every third gene, up to 150,000 genes; and then per @nihgov that every about 1,000 gene is typically a SNP or new gene, per what https://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/chromosome tells me. And that more than 100 million SNP variations are currently documented by the Government, which does the least dna testing of all sources on this planet.
