This is normal. Every report uses different algorithms, comparison groups, and reference datasets β€” so the same raw DNA can produce different-looking results. Some reports focus on different parts of your genome or weigh evidence differently, which shifts what gets highlighted.

Population genomics is still a young field. As researchers add more data and refine their methods, results can change over time β€” even from the same company if they've updated their model. Different isn't wrong; it's just a different lens on the same DNA.
