DNA Testing Basics

[quintessentone]

I chose CRI Genetics for my family's DNA testing, mainly because of the expertise of the scientists running the company and they give reports on ancestry, allergies, extensive other health reports, etc.

CRI Genetics (Cellular Research Institute, Genetics Department) is led by Alexei Fedorov Ph.D., a molecular geneticist with over 35 years of experience studying DNA. A former apprentice to Nobel Prize winning scientist Walter Gilbert, Alexei has created a proprietary DNA analysis algorithm using the latest breakthroughs in genetic science. His lifetime goal has been to advance mankind’s understanding of the human genome into new frontiers.

and this ...

CRI Genetics is an advanced team of scientists who work together based on the latest research in genetics, anthropology, and the social sciences. We are passionate about providing our customers with accurate (and interesting!) DNA-based reports. 

We use proprietary DNA analysis algorithms designed by renowned molecular geneticist Dr. Alexei Fedorov, Ph.D., who was apprentice to Nobel Prize-winning scientist Walter Gilbert at Harvard University. Alexei’s algorithm uses 527,414 hand-chosen genetic markers when analyzing someone’s ancestry.
That means that you get fascinating Ancestry reports and useful Health reports that are both detailed and accurate. We’re confident you will learn something new about yourself when you begin your journey with us! 

Now some of the customer comments almost come off as they can't believe the data because it's not the family history handed down through generations etc. 

But for me and my family, all I can say is whatever they are doing at CRI they are getting most of it right for us. 

They will also destroy all your DNA data if you just ask them.



I also bought the advanced timeline and I searched the internet to have a look at the peoples of those places looking for family physical traits, and I found matches. Very interesting.
