Welcome Bayblab: Interesting news in science from a bunch of degenerate grad students to The DNA Network! The team at Bayblab brings the total number of DNA Network members to 30. How high can we go? (Here’s more info about The DNA Network.)- Jasia at Creative Gene is trying to figure out what her genealogy is worth to her and comes up with a price breakdown for incorporating DNA testing in her genealogical research. I think it’s worth it, what about you?
- Mary Emma Allen of Alzheimer’s Notes ponders what DNA ancestry testing could tell us about our family history of dementia and Alzheimer’s.
- FringeHog comes up with five things to do with your genome. Here’s my list - 5 Cool Things You Can Do With Your DNA. By the way, I’ve added a list of my most popular posts in the sidebar. The 5 Cool Things post is up at the very top!
- Argentina is collecting DNA from relatives in the hopes of identifying approximately 600 bodies that may be of people who went missing during Argentina’s “Dirty War” that lasted from 1976-1983. DNA from the bodies will be matched with the DNA of relatives.
Eduardo Luis Duhalde, Argentina’s human rights secretary:
Part of the anguish one perceives from the mothers and the fathers of the disappeared is that they may die and fear that could hinder the identification process. This project will try to bring them some peace, so they can know that, although they may no longer be here physically, elements will exist allowing us to identify whatever remains are found.
