Summary:
So you just got your DNA test results back. Now what? Maybe you're not as Irish as you thought, and where is that Native American DNA you grandma always talked about? This lecture will discuss what to do now that you have your results such as how to interpret ethnicity estimates, how to look at cousin matching, and DNA circles, as well as how to use a chromosome browser. Downloading and upload raw DNA data is also discussed. If you have your results and are wondering what to do next, this is the class for you!
Learning Objectives:
1. Participants will learn about ethnicity estimates and what they mean as well as relative matches and how to use them.
2. Participants will learn how to download their raw DNA data and upload it to other sites to maximize their chances of finding family.
3. Participants will learn about some of the third-party sites that help interpret DNA results.
