How many cm DNA do siblings share?

Siblings share around 50\% of their DNA while half siblings only share around 25\%. The amount shared is usually expressed in something called centimorgans. Full siblings tend to share around 3500 centimorgans while half siblings share closer to 1750.

Can siblings share less than 50\% DNA?

You are right. Everyone is more or less 50\% related to each of their parents but can be anywhere from 0-100\% related to their siblings. The situation is much more variable with siblings. Theoretically you could be totally unrelated to your sister or share the exact same DNA as your brother.

Can ancestry DNA determine siblings?

More importantly, Ancestry will detect fully identical regions in full-siblings. However, if you happen to share 50\% of your DNA with your sibling, this means you’re full-siblings and share both parents.

How does MyHeritage compare to my genealogy?

MyHeritage uses groupings slightly differently than I grouped my genealogy, so in the British Isles region, I’ve used yellow and green to show like groupings of my genealogy as compared to the MyHeritage results. As you can see, the 44.4\% England attributed by MyHeritage is very close to the 43.68\% found in my genealogy.

Can I find out which of two sisters is my biological mother?

We had successfully zeroed in on her biological family through pedigree triangulation on AncestryDNA and were trying to determine which of two sisters was her biological mother. The daughter of one of the sisters had agreed to test at MyHeritage, with the expectation of a DNA share consistent with either first cousins or half-siblings.

Are MyHeritage results consistent with half-siblings?

There is no doubt that those comparisons are consistent with half-sibling relationships. (I ran them myself to be sure.) As far as the discrepancies at MyHeritage, so far, they have always been too low and not too high and therefore, your father’s results would not be in question.

What does MyHeritage DNA test results mean?

An autosomal DNA test from MyHeritage DNA is going to have two major results. The first is an ethnicity estimate based on how closely your DNA matches that commonly found in certain parts of the world. The second is the ability to locate and connect with your living relatives.
