What's the difference between genome-wide data and mitochondrial genomes?

[QUOTE]Originally posted by Oshun: [QB] If you read the post above you, I actually do say my interest with respect to Egypt was part of why I asked (the other part being the implications DNA testing has on Afro Americans). I was not being a "pussy" about anything. In my example the person can have as much as 99% African ancestry, but the question for those with more experience with genetics is: Was the example I illustrated a proper way to understand how this works? And if that's true, would K clustering be a better way to understand the series of lineages that make up a person's background? Like, if I wanted to find out what groups I'm mixed with globally and to what extent, k clustering or a genome wide analysis would be more relevant than ydna mtdna analysis? And since we're talking about Egypt: Would for that for instance explain why a few people were upset a genome wide analysis was only successfully preformed for 3 remains? My only thing about clustering tho is didn't they kinda do that here (assuming that'd show a bigger picture than simply showing their haplogroups: [IMG]https://images.nature.com/w926/nature-assets/ncomms/2017/170530/ncomms15694/images/ncomms15694-f4.jpg[/IMG] I guess one of the things I imagine some could complain about though with this is that Yoruba is the "Africa" proxy despite having being a population of Africans with no known relevance to Ancient Egypt. But then when you see the bit above it they seem to have a graph comparing AE to plots of more specific ethnicities. They seem to plot more with the Bedouin. One other thing: Applying ancient Egypt to genetics is because it makes genetics more fun for me. I don't think genetics should any place in "race" conversation. I already said this but: Until black people are subjected to racism based on their [b]genetic background[/b] instead of their phenotypes, throwing genetics into that sort of debate deserves all sorts of side eye. You have people roaming the world just as mixed as any mummy in Abusir and they will be treated as "negroes." [/QB][/QUOTE]
