What Are Segments Of DNA Called? - Biology For Everyone

What Are Segments Of DNA Called? In this informative video, we will break down the fascinating world of DNA segments and their significance in understanding genetic relationships. We will define what DNA segments are and explain how they are categorized into ancestral and shared segments. You’ll learn how these segments are inherited from ancestors and how they can reveal connections between you and your DNA matches. Additionally, we will discuss the concept of Identical By Descent (IBD) and how it relates to shared segments of DNA. You will discover how DNA testing companies measure these segments using centimorgans (cMs) and what the size of these segments can tell you about your familial connections. We will also touch on the role of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in validating shared segments and their importance in identifying recent common ancestors. Understanding these elements can enhance your journey into genetic genealogy and help you navigate your family history with greater clarity.
