The Rise of Genetic Genealogy as a Citizen Science

[@grandmasgenes6793]

Great overview of our emerging work Maurice! Thanks very much for this.

Some of those tools, such as the cluster tool for autosomal DNA, is present on gedmatch. I pay a nominal amount a month to get access to more tools, so don't know which ones are offered for free. It is very interesting. With the cluster tool, I see where multiple "relatives" and I intersect. I haven't tried to find what common ancestor these clusters go to. Some clusters are fairly large- indicating many people share the same chromosome segment, and if it is a large segment, it would come from a relatively recent common American ancestor, within the last 200 or even 150 years.
