Brad Larkin - The Future of Genetic Genealogy
Channel: Genetic Genealogy Ireland
Date: 2014-10-21

The growth of genetic genealogy has been rapid but exciting new possibilities are forecast from several major developments:  1) continued expansion of the number of markers commercially feasible to test; 2) sampling coverage to approach 100% of the genetic lineages of Ireland and the British Isles; 3) growth of reference databases with phased results and related tools.  These elements in combination will one day allow an individual's raw test results to be linked to an established genetic lineage and its ancestral geography in a matter of moments.  This study is intended for those interested in science, technology, and how genetic genealogy will develop as a field.
