Need to fill in some gaps in your family tree? Swipe a cotton swab across the inside of your cheek and send it, along with 200 bucks, to Sorenson Genomics and they will tease out your DNA and look for DNA matches in Ancestry.com’s 24,000 genealogical databases.
The rapidly growing field of online genealogical searches is expanding to genetic testing, courtesy of a new partnership between the Internet's largest family history Web site, Ancestry.com, and Sorenson Genomics, a privately held DNA research firm.
Ancestry.com plans to launch the DNA testing product by the end of summer, offering customers the possibility of finding DNA matches in the site's 24,000 genealogical databases.
"DNA research becomes more meaningful to people searching for relatives as more people's DNA results become part of the database," said Doug Fogg, chief operating officer of Salt Lake City-based Sorenson Genomics, a division of Relative Genetics.
