Register for Webinar Wednesday — Discovering More From Your Next Generation Sequence (NGS | Big Y) Test by Mags Gaulden

Geoff Rasmussen

07 Jun 2023

For years researchers have been identifying family history using YDNA, especially those interested in where their specific line may originate. Upgrading to a next Generation Sequence test (NGS) can help bring information that could be 200k years old into a more workable timeframe is what these tests are all about (and then some). We will take a look at the NGS test at the tools for discovery available today and apply them in a case study.
