About this webinar
Autosomal DNA tests are utilized in genetic genealogy to solve historic research questions by exploring the genetic traces left by deceased ancestors in the genomes of their living descendants. Any given descendant only inherits a portion of their ancestor’s DNA, and different descendants inherit different portions of that DNA. Based on the relationships between tested descendants of a research subject, it is possible to estimate how much of an ancestor’s DNA is represented in any given database. This information can help in prioritization of testing candidates and can also aid in interpretation of shared DNA between multiple groups of individuals.

Excellent webinar. I learned a lot and can't wait to try! Not a big fan of math, but enjoy the DNA equations. Totallhy makes sense.\n\nThank you!
Very helpful!
Very much for advanced DNA people. I will need to watch it several times to understand all the calculations. I was happy to see the coverage calculator. It will make it easier to know who to test next.
Amazingingly helpful. Will need to watch slowly and often to make all of this info mine. What a wonderful 12-page syllabus! I printed it on both sides and numbered the pages quickly; they, too, are going to get a lot of use!
This was really great! I'm pretty knowledgeable about DNA, and I learned something today! I'm looking forward to studying the syllabus and watching this again.
great webinar
The webinar was excellent. My math is not. I did get how it works though. I concur with someone who said that we need a workbook to practice these formulas. Also is there a way to do this when you do not have other relatives to test?
This will be so interesting to try. Paul always does the best webinars!
