Breakthrough in Human Genome Studies

The New York Times' lead story today is about the incredible advances just announced in the study of human disease and traits. The story can be found here. Another excellent story is in Discover magazine. The discovery of "switches" in what was once considered "junk DNA" that control how cells, organs and other tissues behave may finally lead to understanding the complexities of cancer, depression, high blood pressure and many other health issues that are difficult to predict and treat.

New Video Channel

I was thrilled to find a new video channel sponsored by Family Tree DNA, my favorite company for DNA testing for genealogical purposes. There are several videos that explain and describe many aspects of DNA testing: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=UU-e1BqfubuSdFPHauQwZmlg&feature=plcp

Enjoy!

Great Research Aid

I have to share with all of you a very exciting resource. Go to http://beta.worldcat.org/archivegrid/ for free access to this collection. You can, for example, search all the archives available in any city you choose. Or you can search on a name and see where that name is found in records held by all the archives in the system. Remember, all archives do not necessarily belong to Worldcat, but many do and you may not be aware of some that are in your own backyard, or in areas where your ancestors lived. I certainly did not know of many that turned up in a simple search of a single surname.

Happy ancestor hunting!
