Description
 
"DNA and Genealogy" was introduced at the Family Tree DNA Second International Conference on Genetic Genealogy held in November 2005 at National Geographic Headquarters in Washington DC. DNA & Genealogy is a follow-on to Forensic Genealogy, and gives a more detailed explanation on what you can learn through Y- and mtDNA testing. There are also sections on how to find out if your surname already has a DNA study in progress, how to join a study, and how to form your own.

"DNA and Genealogy" offers interesting reading material to even the most seasoned genetic genealogist, through its "DNA in the News " and "Weird DNA" sidebars on subjects including:

  • Cloning
  • PaleoDNA
  • Chimeras, People with Two DNA profiles in Their Bodies
  • Sickle Cell - Good News/Bad News
  • DNA Analysis of Oetzi the Tyrolean Ice Man
  • IQ XY
  • Exobiology DNA
  • and many others!
