The process of clustering or grouping your DNA matches into genetic networks is an essential part of using DNA for genealogy research. This class will introduce the concept of clustering and walk you through the process of grouping your own DNA matches. | The process of clustering or grouping your DNA matches into genetic networks is an essential part of using DNA for genealogy research.

Your DNA matches are probably your relatives. But a DNA test only suggests a relationship exists. This class will walk you through the process of determining the common ancestor between you and a DNA match or among a cluster of DNA matches. | Your DNA matches are probably your relatives.
