Top Tweets for #DNAtesting20
It's the last day of April! Which means it's the last day of my tweets about the last 20 years of home DNA testing. Because it has been exactly twenty years since this industry started. And what has transpired has been fairly remarkable. #DNAtesting20 1/11
Also around 2018-19, you're starting to see a lot of stys about massive networks of #donorconceived half-siblings, some between 100 and 200, bec of lack of restrictions within the #fertility industry. #DNAtesting20 One of my faves, as told to @susandominus https://t.co/Q3guPRxi69
20 years of #DNAtesting20 milestones: In 2018, with the #GoldenStateKiller, Barbara Rae-Venter teaches LE how to solve cold cases using #geneticgenealogy techniques used for years by #adoptees, opening debates over privacy, civil liberties & public safety.
20 years of home #DNAtesting20 milestones: In 2017, #colleenfitzpatrick and #margaretpress found @DnaDoeProject. In March '18 (just before Golden State Killer) they solve the Buckskin Girl case. It was the subject of a great piece by @SethAugenstein that is, maddeningly, gone.
20 years of home #DNAtesting20 milestones. In 2017, a woman named Linda took a DTC test in hopes of understanding how her genetic ancestry might be impacting what she and her doctor thought was ovarian cancer. She could never have imagined what she'd find: https://t.co/SxVkysrmuX
And while I'm in 2016, in my endless home-#DNA-testing-for-ancestry-is-20-yrs-old-this-month (!) thread, I got more for that year: @MyHeritage begins offering DNA testing, and @Ancestry spends $100 million (read that again) in a single yr in advertising. #DNADay2020 #DNAtesting20

20 years of #DNAtesting20 milestones, 2010+: #adoptees and search angels pioneer techniques to find genetic kin. Long before the Golden State Killer arrest, #geneticgenealogy is being used to find birth parents, siblings, sperm donors and cousins.

20 years of #DNAtesting20 milestones: In 2005, @spwells launched @NatGeo’s #Genographic Project, to trace the migration paths of ancient ancestors. It’s how a lot of ppl (including my fam) were introduced to the concept of #DTCtesting.

20 years of #DNAtesting20 milestones, this one courtesy of @evolvability: #GEDmatch is founded in 2010. It remains a niche site for #familyhistory hobbyists that most Americans haven't heard of until eight years later, with the arrest of the accused Golden State Killer.
20 years of home DNA testing, 20 years of milestones. Thank you for adding your incredibly poignant one, @JulianneMangin. I'm glad you were able to validate your grandmother's experience. #DNAtesting20
20 years of home DNA testing, 20 yrs of milestones both society-wide and personal. thank you, @npealicia #DNAtesting20
@libbycopeland It has been a little over a year ago for me now that I discovered I was #NPE after testing myself and other family members.

20 years of #DNAtesting20 milestones: 2009 is a game changer. @23andMe introduces something called Relative Finder -- the beginning of #adoptees and #donorconceived finding genetic kin, #NPE discoveries, #DNAsurprises...and later, cold cases solved thru #geneticgenealogy.
20 years of #DNAtesting, 2005: #donorsiblingregistry co-founders @DSRWendy and her #donorconceived son Ryan manage to identify his anonymous donor using Y-DNA testing and genetic genealogy. These days, "anonymous sperm donor” verges on oxymoron. #donorconception #DNAtesting20
Milestones from 20 yrs of #DNAtesting: @FamilyTreeDNA Y-DNA tests led to an explosion in surname projects. Acc to @DebbieKennett, at the start of 2002, there were 18 surname projects at @familytreedna; by the end of 2002, there were 309! (Now there are over 9k.) #DNAtesting20
Milestones from 20 yrs of #DNAtesting: #DNAsurprises have been uncovered since the industry's beginning. The founder of @FamilyTreeDNA told me he stumbled on the 1st before he even rolled out product, during proof of concept testing in ‘99. #genealogy Send yrs w/ #DNAtesting20
In coming wks I’ll be tweeting out the milestones of the last 20 yrs in #DNAtesting. I’m taking suggestions! Could be industry or #geneticgenealogy moments, or ones relating to yr personal #genealogy journey. Put year and tag #DNAtesting20. This week: 2000-2010.
