Geno 2.0 - DNA testing


In order to understand the story my genes tell about my ancient ancestors: where they lived and when, I am participating in the Genographic Project.  While the rhetoric of the Genographic Project is hubristic and trite, the actual science behind it, as well as the implications of the data base as a whole is interesting and important.

 I am sending in my DNA samples tomorrow (from cheek swabs mailed to me) to the lab to be analysed.  Fingers crossed everything goes well... and I have the results soon.
