9 branches throughout the North of Ireland, monthly meetings, dedicated research centre and DNA innovation, education and promotion.
We had a great DNA Interest Group meeting yesterday - lots of questions and discussion!
And a great presentation on Autosegment Split - Gedmatch's new tool to sort your matches into maternal and paternal. Definitely worth watching.
