Game of Genes (Donna Rutherford)

The genetics of the Game of Thrones characters is as dramatic as the TV series itself. This unique presentation delves into the DNA results of characters from the Game of Thrones TV show as they might appear if DNA testing ever became available on Westeros. Although the characters are fictitious, details about their DNA can be applied to our research and understanding of our own genetics. What could we find out if we distributed DNA kits across Westeros, the Iron Islands, Essos and even beyond the Wall? This presentation addresses these intriguing questions.
