Public DNA Databases do not sell DNA kits, but do allow uploads from the other companies. Here is a list of some of them. | |||
*[https://www.borlandgenetics.com/ Borland Genetics] Autosomal matching database with emphasis on reconstructing DNA of deceased individuals | *[https://www.borlandgenetics.com/ Borland Genetics] Autosomal matching database with emphasis on reconstructing DNA of deceased individuals | ||
Borland Genetics was founded by Kevin Borland in 2019. The website is dedicated to reconstructing DNA of deceased individuals by using samples from their descendants. The raw data files for the deceased individuals can then be uploaded to other sites that accept uploads. Many of the tools on the website are free, but there is also a subscription version that grants access to more advanced tools. The free tools on the website include: | |||
*Two-Parent Phase: This free tool creates high resolution phased output kits when DNA of both parents of a child donor is available. | |||
*Missing Parent: This free tool creates a partial reconstruction of an unavailable parent when the DNA of the opposite parent of the child donor is available. Typically this creates a 50% reconstruction, but creates a 47% reconstruction if the child is a male and the missing parent is also a male because men do not inherit an X chromosome from their father. | |||
*Reverse Phase: This tool allows users to phase their DNA using the DNA of a child rather than a parent. In the free version of the tool, users are instructed to follow a multi-step workflow including phasing and chromosome mapping. There is also an automated subscription version of the workflow which can be initiated by creating a smart project. | |||
