| Topics: | DNA Testing, Genetic Genealogy, Genealogy |
| Description: | While there are hundreds of web sites that discuss DNA, this site is different in three important ways: 1. Most sites exist to sell testing services. I do not. And I provide an independent view of those who do. 2. I write from the personal perspective of someone who has used DNA testing. 3. I make every effort to write in plain English and make these complex subjects as clear as possible. |

Holiday Pricing on DNA Kits from 23andMe
As mentioned in my last blog, I've been participating in a Beta test of a new feature at 23andMe called Relative Finder. This feature compares your autosomal DNA with others in their database to find potential relaives. Automsomal DNA, sampled from all 23 chromosomes, reflects ALL your ancestors, not just your paternal (Y chromosome) or maternal (mitochondria) lines. Many genealogists in the Beta test are finding and confirming matches with previously unknown cousins. But I'm even more excited about the potential for adoptees and others who want to confirm that they have found their biological families. The 23andMe test is far more robust than traditional kinship testing. Any two people

Good News for Genealogists from 23andMe
I've been participating in a Beta test of a new feature at 23andMe called Relative Finder, I've already confirmed a third cousin relationship with one of the other Beta participants. And I see a lot of potential for genealogists once the Relative Finder feature is launched across their entire user base. A 23andMe test does not replace traditional Y-DNA testing, because 23andMe only looks at SNPs and not STRs. And they do not test mitochondrial DNA quite as thoroughly as the Full Genome Sequence at Family Tree DNA. But they do read half a million locations in your autosomal DNA from all 23 chromosomes. Combine all that data w
