Here I present: Nancy Hendrickson, “Unofficial Guide to Ancestry.com”, 2018 , PART TWO (2).
INTRODUCTION.
Part Three: “Uncovering Ancestors with AncestryDNA” is the subject of this blog post. More specifically Chapter #12. “Interpreting Your DNA Results”.
COMMENTS.
With a AncestryDNA saliva test kit results of the mailed in sample results are sent to you. Chromosome Paint application is used on the Excel spreadsheet of 360 genomic coordinates. ABOVE are haploids of Chromosome #1, #2 & #3. BELOW are the definitions of the CYTOGENETIC LOCATIONS and GENOMIC COORDINATES for Chromosomes #1, #2 & #3.
RESULTS. This is Human OLD WORLD DNA: orange (Africa), green/purple (Asia/Middle), blue (Europe) & gray (Unassigned).
OPINION.
Direct-to-consumer DNA is here to stay. Nancy Hendrickson, “The Unofficial Guide to Ancestry.com”, 2018 contains introduction to DNA use in genealogy. Genealogy is very different from Genomics, even if they have overlapping areas. For the general public, the references on how interpret your DNA results are useful in the Nancy Hendrickson book.
