I have accumulated DNA segment match information from ftDNA, GEDmatch, and MyHeritage. It is just recently that I've added MyHeritage DNA donors data, and I've found that the total number of matching SNPs, for a segment, are two to four times the value of GEDmatch and ftDNA (when comparing the same donors). Does anyone know the reason for this substantial difference?

Below is a one example of many... (sorry, I don't know how to format the tables)

Why are MyHeritage atDNA SNPs higher than other test sites?
