SUMMARY:DNA Oddities: Uncovering the Strange Truths of Genetic Research
DESCRIPTION:Scott Lee\n\n\n\nDNA and biological reproduction are more complex than most people realize. Misunderstandings about how DNA is inherited can lead to false assumptions and confusing\, seemingly contradictory results. This presentation reveals fascinating and little-known facts about DNA that are crucial for interpreting unexpected genetic findings. Topics include: the importance of centimorgans\, DNA crossovers\, vanishing twin syndrome\, chimeras\, and the impact of endogamy. Technical details and jargon will be kept to a minimum\, making these concepts accessible to all. \n\n\n\nThis is a Kitchen Roundtable presentation and discussion hosted by the Arkansas Genealogical Society. For more programs in this series\, check the AGS website. \n\n\n\nThis evening’s presenter is Scott Lee\, a retired software engineer who has researched his family history since 1979. He has served as an officer in several genealogical societies and lectures on genealogical topics. He is currently the 1st Vice President of the Arkansas Genealogical Society. \n\n\n\nScott grew up in Little Rock\, Arkansas\, but his work took him to Indiana\, Oregon\, North Carolina\, and New York City. In retirement\, he and his wife\, Deirdre\, have returned to their families in Arkansas. His career included the medical field\, engineering\, computer graphics\, and consulting focused on building reliable software. In retirement\, he is working on the design of deep learning neural networks and software for genealogy. In his spare time\, he enjoys writing science fiction\, studying ancient calendars\, developing open-source software\, keeping up with the latest advances in physics and astronomy\, and\, of course\, researching his family history.
