Can Parent Genome be Restored Through Children’s DNA?

How can you use the reconstructed kit? Several companies allow users to upload kits from other websites. This includes (alphabetically) FamilyTreeDNA, GEDmatch, Living DNA, and MyHeritage. While they may ultimately stop allowing users to upload the reconstructed data, one person wrote to say that GEDmatch accepted his HAPI reconstructed kit. Please note that this post and the availability of this tool does not indicate an endorsement of uploading these kits. Doing so may violate user agreements. However, the kits are formatted in such a way that the companies can easily prevent users from uploading them, and we hope they will not take any punitive action against users that do. (In other words, use the reconstructed kits at your own risk.) This version of HAPI is in “beta” (the printed kits give the current version number, ). There are several features we will add to HAPI in the near-term. One is to reconstruct the X chromosome, and, where available, Y and mitochondrial chromosomes. (SNPs on the Y and mitochondria are not provided by all companies.) Another is to produce a plot of where the parent was reconstructed on both copies and only one copy, like the one above for my grandma, and to report the percent of DNA the tool reconstructed. Also, as noted above, it will ultimately be possible to print the half-missing SNPs for positions where HAPI only reconstructed one chromosome.
