Today’s webinar gave a clear explanation between the global ancestry prediction used in the previous version and the new method of local ancestry inference where regions are divided into windows.
I am a very unscientific person who has little interest in the makeup of DNA. I keep pushing myself to try to understand and be interested. Today’s session was invaluable. It was very informative, interesting and was presented in a very uncomplicated way. I actually showed some interest and grasped some understanding, Thank you Ethel .
In this special session, MyHeritage's scientist will break down the science behind DNA – DNA inheritance, how DNA testing actually works, how raw results are analyzed, how DNA matching works and how we are able to find unknown relatives with it and estimate one's ethnic origins. In the second part of the session we will go over DNA results and important tools available on MyHeritage, that can help in researching your family history and identify relatives and relationships.

Welcomed the explanation of how the various stages of DNA sampling and assessment lead to the determination of potential ethnicity.

Interesting to hear about the process that went into producing v2.5
great session
Interesting explanation of the new model being used by MyHeritage, probably need to watch again to fully understand.
Very enlightening. I have done my DNA and to have some of the things explained was great. I will definitely be re-watching this.
She made a very complicated subject more understandable! Thanks!
