The Genetic Genealogist

Adding DNA to the Genealogist's Toolbox

Should We All Be Testing Our DNA?

October 29th, 2007 in DNA in the News, Personal Genomics, Personalized Medicine |

That’s the title of an article at BBC News yesterday. The article’s header states that:

“More and more people in the UK are following America’s lead in spending hundreds of pounds on private genetic tests.”

The article is about genetic testing for health concerns, not for genealogical purposes. Although the article is very short, the author does manage to highlight a few of the potential benefits and downfalls of genetic testing.
