This post won’t be everyone’s cup of tea. But I’ve used these countless times in programming in order to automate processes, which saves me a lot of time and work and prevents errors. Ethnicity The first time I ever wrote a formula for genetics was...

Small segments affect most of our matches, whether we think we’re using them or not. I don’t know that I would call it a debate, but the discussion about low centiMorgan (cM) DNA segments continues with fervor. And I almost never hear any arguments from the...

These statistics are now available for the first time ever I know what you’re going to say. X-DNA is too variable for us to deduce anything from the averages or ranges. I say that we should always seek to improve our understanding of the natural world when we...
