An interesting development from the company that previously stated that it would never add a chromosome browser - it's just added a chromosome browser.
Ancestry (www.ancestry.co.uk) has added a new 'chromosome painter' within the DNA story section of the AncestryDNA home page, as a second part to its recently added Ethnicity Inheritance section. It allows you to see how your ethnicity (admixture) is inherited from both parents, and to identify which regions of your chromosome originate from which likely geographic locations, and for each parent.
It is a quite limited offering compared to the chromosome browsers found on other DNA sites, but it's a small step in the right direction.
