Understanding DNA and Ancestry Testing
This lecture explains the basic science of DNA and how ancestry companies use test results to:
• identify genetic matches between relatives.
• estimate ancestral origins.
• explain why some known ancestors may not appear in your results; and
• show why having an Indian great-grandmother may not produce an Indian ancestry estimate.
