Potential 23andme algorithm AC update (v5.9)

Have u seen this on Reddit:
[
23andMe CEO Anne Wojcicki's Ancestry Composition report displayed an algorithm update for a few hours before reverting back to normal. At the bottom of the report, it was specified as version 5.9, as opposed to the current v5.2.

There has been no official announcement for this update. What has been seen was probably not intended to be seen just yet. We don't know the release date. It could be tomorrow, next week, or in a month. It is even entirely possible this update maybe scrapped or merged with some other update several months from now. The point is that nothing is official yet, so expect a variety of possibilities.

What we know based on the current information:

  • This update is an Algorithm update, meaning there will be no new reference populations. An Algorithm update usually brings an overall improvement to accuracy and precision in percentages. Past algorithm updates have seen trends of decreasing unassigned and broad percentages.
  • There will be a new feature that allows you to switch back and forth between your pre and post updated results.
Please keep in mind that previous algorithm updates have sometimes been exclusive to a specific genotyping chip (usually the newest/newer ones) with older chips either receiving the update later on or not at all. This update could be different.

And here I am again hoping for another 23andme update soon lol. Last update was actually a slight improvement for me (minus the decreased French & German) and I got new locations & genetic groups =).
