In this accessible and engaging book, Sheldon Krimsky, a leading researcher, investigates the methods that different companies use for DNA ancestry testing. He also discusses what the tests are used for, from their application in criminal investigations to discovering missing relatives. With a lack of transparency from companies in sharing their data, absent validation of methods by independent scientists, and currently no agreed-upon standards of accuracy, this book also examines the ethical issues behind genetic genealogy testing, including concerns surrounding data privacy and security. 650 0 $a Genetic genealogy. 650 0 $a DNA $x Analysis. 650 0 $a Genealogy. 941 $a 1 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20230207011323.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3293ED92A6B511EDAB1CAA9536ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
