Suggestion For DNA 101

Question

I studied DNA in college - during my one biology class.  I loved it and I get the basic premise.  When it comes to DNA for genealogy I am at a complete loss.   I found a very straight-forward DNA 101 article that I think would be a great addition to the DNA Help Page.  This is assuming there are others who are in need of the basics.

The article says it can be shared/printed/downloaded...don't know what else we would need in the form of a release.

Answer 1

Mags,

If it can be downloaded, shared or printed it may be public domain.

Technically it's not public domain under U.S. copyright law, as it was created after 1978 and therefore falls under the author's-life-plus-70-years period, but since the author's given blanket permission to share the PDF, it's probably fine to put it on WikiTree.  If in doubt, though, there's always the option of putting a link to the PDF on the original site.

correct.

We need a supervisor to post the link...please. - Mags

Answer 2

Mags;

Here is the link to the project.  Anyone can edit the page which means you can add the link yourself.

Regards,

Mary

Somehow, the closing square bracket ended up as part of the link.  Here it is without the bracket:
