Is your family tree biologically correct? BanyanDNA is a new tool for genetic genealogy that is customized to your family tree, including cases of pedigree collapse and double cousins.  It has three main uses:  visualizing complex trees, validating biological relationships, and hypothesis testing for unknown parentage. Presented by Leah Larkin.

She has worked in both academia and scientific publishing and applies those research skills daily to solving genealogical questions using DNA. Her background makes her uniquely qualified to analyze your DNA results to reveal your family history.
