Your DNA Test: Getting the Most Information from Online Resources
DNA tests are advertised nightly on TV. Whether you are just thinking about one or have results back and are wondering, “Now what?” this course may be of interest to you. Over the course of six sessions, the basics of DNA and genetics, needed to understand your results, are presented. Questions about health, ancestry, heritage, and genealogy are reviewed to determine which test suits you best. Commercial firms and the tests they offer are described along with guidance on navigating the websites (all test results are website-based). Finally, GEDMATCH, a free website that all testers may use to learn more from their results will be explored.
