As pointed out by Susan Whitten in Oct 2016 (with no reply by Geni), Geni lacks many ESSENTIAL tools for basic analyses of DNA matches, especially a "Chromosome Browser" that permits users to see on which chromosomes and in which segment locations they share DNA with potential relatives.
This oversight by Geni is a serious omission that severely limits the usefulness of DNA test results and reported matches; this serious limitation is one of the major deficits of AncestryDNA as well, which relegates both of these sites to the bottom of lists for choices to conduct suitable DNA test evaluations.
Even though Geni reports to use FTDNA for their DNA services, both FTDNA and Geni's partner MyHeritage (also serviced by FTDNA) offer a chromosome browser that enables users to see "if and where and how much" overlapping SNPs (a DNA base-pair) one has in shared segments of specific chromosomes.
So, WHY does Geni not provide a chromosomal browser, like MyHeritage does, when both these partners use FTDNA to host their DNA matching services?
This is a serious flaw by Geni, and greatly restricts the best use of DNA tests.
Please FIX this oversight, Geni - now!!
