WhydowestudyDNA?

•  Health– Exome,subsetofgenome,thatisusedasan“instrucDonset”byourbody.

•  (Ancient)History– Understandinghumandevelopment,migraDon

•  Genealogy– Helpovercomelackofpaperrecords,generallyseveralgeneraDonsback

•  AdopDon– Helpovercomelackofpaperrecords,generallyduringrecentgeneraDons

TypesofDNA•  Humanshave23chromosomesplussome

mitochondrialDNA•  AutosomalDNA

–  22ChromosomesrecombineeverygeneraDon(*asdoXXchromosomepairinfemales)

•  Y-Chromosome(Y-DNA)– Onlypresentinmales(XY),notfemales(XX)–  Passesfromfather-to-son(~60Mbp)

•  MitochondrialDNA(mtDNA)–  Passesfrommother-to-child(~68kbp)

•  WelookatrecombinaDonofAutosomalDNAandX-DNAvs.MutaDonsofY-andmtDNA.

Y-DNA•  STRsvs.SNPs

–  ShortTandemRepeats(STRs)

–  SingleNucleoDdePairs(SNPs)

•  Goodfor“ancient”roots–  Manybranchesapproaching
