Optional Print Course Material: DNA: Methodology and Analysis

*Course material will only be sent to students who are registered in the course.

This course covers advanced techniques associated with DNA methodology, analysis and strategies. Students should have a firm grasp of the understanding of autosomal, Y-chromosome, and mitochondrial DNA. 

While advances in DNA testing are exciting, DNA does not hold all of the answers for everyone. It plays an important role for many who are searching for family, or those simply hoping to learn more about themselves and their genetics. In some cases, DNA testing has helped people discover unknown medical risks. 

People biologically related to you will have to take a DNA test and share the results on the same service or platform you choose to test to connect. After that you will need to use the tools available for DNA analysis allowing you to understand the results to their fullest. 

Each DNA testing company provides its own set of tools and these tools change over time. This course will help you determine what tools are best for you and when to use them.
