Thousands of people worldwide have been conceived using donor gametes, but not all parents tell their children origin. Several countries now allow donor-conceived offspring to potentially know genetic parent if they are informed status. At the same time, personal testing is a rapidly expanding field. Over 3 million already used direct-to-consumer find information about ancestry, and many participating in international genealogy databases that will match them with relatives. The increased...
Genetic genealogy databases have become particularly attractive to law enforcement agencies, especially in the United States (US), which started employ genealogists search them with unknown origin DNA from unidentified human remains (suicides, missing persons) or a serious crime scene, help identify victim, potential suspected perpetrator, respectively. While this investigative genetic (IGG) technique holds much promise, its use – during criminal investigations has sparked range of social...
Direct-to-consumer genetic ancestry testing is a new and growing industry that has gained widespread media coverage public interest. Its scientific base in the fields of population evolutionary genetics it benefitted considerably from recent advances rapid cost-effective DNA typing technologies. There considerable body literature on use data to make inferences about human history, although publications inferring specific individuals are rarer. Population geneticists have questioned validity...
This study is the first to characterise type of people trying resolve unknown parentage cases in UK and Ireland, how successful their efforts are, using commercial DTC (direct-to-consumer) DNA tests. A survey was conducted individuals born or with a biological parent from who had used genetic genealogy as part search for one both parents. Success rates were high assisting identification birth 48-55% cases. In an additional 20-21% cases, identified grandparents more distant ancestors. The...
