'''Seminar''': "DNA Matching on MyHeritage" 
'''Seminar: TBA'''


'''Description''': DNA Matching is a powerful new service developed to help our users find relatives based on their shared genetic sequences. The technology compares data from autosomal DNA tests results and family trees to identify matches between users that indicate a family relationship. It allows people who have already tested their DNA through 23andMe, Family Tree DNA, and AncestryDNA services, and now MyHeritage DNA, to enjoy MyHeritage’s exceptional matching capabilities for their family history research, and get greater value from their DNA test results.
