Another test or website gave me a completely different haplogroup — a different main branch, not just a deeper one. Which is right?

Why calls can differ across tools, how we check the markers, and how to send yours to us for review.

This can happen, because different raw-data files and different tools can produce very different calls. We check hundreds of markers along each path of the tree; if none of the markers that define that other branch show a derived reading in your file, that call simply isn’t supported by your data. (Sometimes a “different result” traces back to a marker name being read as the wrong branch — for instance, a marker that actually defines a different letter of the tree.) Send us the exact label and where it came from, and we’ll line it up against ours and explain the difference.
