Visual Phasing and Genetic Recombination: A 7-Generation Study

Free

This presentation is designed to showcase the immense genetic autosomal DNA discovery properties that can be realized from using (if you are able), advanced VISUAL PHASING methods as part of your family research efforts. As an active “Genetic Explorer” and one of a 5-member full-sibling group, who also has access to (for research and family discovery purposes only), an army of known close and distant cousins – on both paternal and maternal sides of the family), Jerome has been in position “to see” (first hand) how the process of genetic recombination has “placed its finger on the scale” (if you will) – up and down the line – chromosome by chromosome, to have a profound impact on how much (or how little) matching DNA may be captured and observed between any two or more genetically matching individuals. VISUAL PHASING will be explained, GEDmatch chromosome browser terms will be explained, and a specific chromosome #11 example will be demonstrated as part of this webinar.
