Difference between WSG and 23andme
One of the things I keep hearing is that all humans have 99% identical DNA, and that the 1% is where all the differences are. And that services like 23andMe and Ancestry use parts of the 1% genome to share various ancestry traits. If so much of our DNA is identical, why is a WGS still valuable? are there still differences within that 99% portion of the genome that have differentiated information that is usually untapped?
