@SteveLittle Wow, Steve thanks. I can only see program lines 14 to 33, so don’t know if I am smart enough to try to run it. This is for the Cecil-Cissell project at #FTDNA. We are trying to see if we can tease distant matches out of some whole genome sequencing data from Dante Labs. Dave

#FTDNA has a Y-Chromosome Browser for BigY test results. It currently provides access only to identified private variant locations.

For #GeneticGenealogy I occasionally want to be able to check the BAM file data at other locations. There are a few ways to do this, but the following is a manual method. The procedure works on a MAC, but I suspect something similar may be possible on a PC.

See the next sections for an example of the process.

Still learning about Mastodon and trying hashtags!

For a #Genealogy Project, I have been tracing surname lines with #GeneticGenealogy using #Y_Chromosome #SnpTests from Family Tree DNA ( #FTDNA ). That has worked out very well.

Now am trying to look at autosomal SNPs from #WholeGenomeSequencing ( #WGS ) tests to detect possible common ancestors back 9-12 generations or so. Want to see if very rare genetic variants ( #vrGV ) can be used in some way to identify those possible connections.
