Autosomal DNA Segment Analyzer (ADSA) - Version 2

ADSA NOW SUPPORTS GEDMATCH! You will need to use GEDMATCH to gather the data and then load it into DNAgedcom's database so ADSA can find it there. There is a GEDMATCH Quick Start Guide. available. Detailed instructions for loading GEDMATCH data are also available. Better yet, the Genealogy Junkie has blogged about it!

There have been a few reports from IE and FireFox users that they had problems getting their GEDMATCH data loaded. If you run into problems, try using the Chrome browser. Safari seems to work well on the Mac.

ADSA only works with GEDMATCH and the Family Finder test from Family Tree DNA.

The Autosomal DNA Segment Analyzer constructs tables that include match and segment information as well as a visual graph of overlapping segments, juxtaposed with a customized, color-coded In-Common-With (ICW) matrix that will permit you to triangulate matching segments without having to look in multiple spreadsheets or on different web pages. Additional information, such as ancestral surnames, suggested relationship ranges, and matching segments and ICWs on other chromosomes is provided by hovering over fields on the screen. You may also generate emails to persons you match from the page. The web page produced by this program does not depend on any other files and may be saved as a stand-alone .html or .htm file that will function locally or offline in your browser. You can also email the saved report as an attachment. If you want to quickly see what this does, you can try out a working sample output for a single chromosome, but the default option is for all chromosomes to be displayed.

PLEASE READ THE ADSA MANUAL for step-by-step instructions for using the tool and a section on troubleshooting problems you may encounter. If you just want to get started without a lot of reading, you can follow the steps in the Family Tree DNA Quick Start Guide or the GEDMATCH Quick Start Guide. There are also special instructions for people with Ashkenazi ancestry. If you wish, you may still run the older version of ADSA (Version 1) from files. Please direct questions and comments to Don Worth at worth@ucla.edu.
