I don't know if it was around in 2014, but https://promethease.com/ can do this analysis for you, including from AncestryDNA and 23andme. I plan on using it once my AncestryDNA results finally come back.

also -- https://dna.land/ seems to give extremely similar (possibly identical?) results, for free

Neat! Might as well do both and see how they compare :)

I don't think Mr. Alexander has had this conversation with anyone in bioinformatics, where "SNP" is universally pronounced "snip" and given the preconsonantal indefinite article - "a snip", not "an ess en pee".

Like a lot of stuff that comes out of the rationalists -- autodidacts with a background in stats have decided that reading research papers on their own is a sufficient approach to knowledge, with often pretty messy results.

Has anyone used 23andme with fake information? If so, how?

man what a refined piece of pretentious snobbery - finding fault with someone who reads research papers as a hobby. ha.

I just plugged my 23andme data into both. Waiting for results.

I was thinking of sharing the results, is anyone interested? Is there really any good reason not to? I know people get all uptight about it but I'm not sure why.
