00:00:01
Daniel welcome back again I'm super
00:00:04
excited to have you here because today
00:00:06
we are talking about the chromosome
00:00:07
browser over there at myheritage for
00:00:09
those who have not met Daniel before uh
00:00:13
he is the man he is the guy that we
00:00:15
always go to and say Daniel what's
00:00:19
happening over at my Heritage you guys
00:00:21
got some Cool Tools going on over there
00:00:24
well yes Connie thank you very much for
00:00:26
the invitation and always a pleasure to
00:00:29
be able to be here with you and with
00:00:32
your audience
00:00:34
um and yes as as you requested and and
00:00:36
it's really my pleasure to talk about
00:00:39
the Cool Tools that we have for DNA
00:00:44
um they are right
00:00:47
in the DNA menu of my Heritage and and
00:00:51
maybe before we go in depth here uh just
00:00:55
to mention that these tools are
00:00:58
available for whoever has a DNA test on
00:01:02
my Heritage and you know I'm the expert
00:01:06
genealogist I don't belong to the sales
00:01:09
department so I will not tell you that
00:01:13
you can buy a myheritage DNA kit for a
00:01:16
very good price probably out there right
00:01:19
now but if you have a DNA test in
00:01:23
another company you should be able to
00:01:26
download it from whatever place and
00:01:30
upload it to my Heritage for free and
00:01:32
then being able to use these tools and
00:01:37
what you're seeing here is the the main
00:01:39
page for the tools where you have the CM
00:01:42
explainer this is the latest tool that
00:01:46
we create in order to explain a little
00:01:49
bit better
00:01:50
the relationship that you have with your
00:01:54
DNA match
00:01:56
and not necessarily although it's
00:01:59
already implemented on your DNA matches
00:02:02
on my Heritage but this works also for
00:02:05
external uh DNA kids like all you need
00:02:08
to do is to put the amount of
00:02:10
centimorgans and that what is what CM
00:02:13
stands for that you have between you and
00:02:16
your DNA match and the ages of yourself
00:02:19
and your match and we will tell you the
00:02:23
probabilities of your relationship with
00:02:26
the other person but definitely the
00:02:29
chromosome browser is the the the Jewel
00:02:32
of the crown I should say uh because my
00:02:36
Heritage offers you uh us kind of a
00:02:40
summary version or a small version of
00:02:42
this for every one of your DNA matches
00:02:46
but this one is kind of uh in steroids
00:02:50
because here you will be able to select
00:02:54
up to seven individuals from your
00:02:58
matches and it's not only your matches
00:03:00
it's actually Connie any DNA kit that
00:03:05
you are managing because uh as hardcore
00:03:08
genealogies we are the ones that are
00:03:12
probably administrating all the DNA kits
00:03:14
from our family right our family just
00:03:17
open the mouth as I say with the only
00:03:19
condition that we don't bother them
00:03:22
anymore okay and yes uh important that
00:03:26
uh to say that my Heritage is a swab we
00:03:29
don't want you to spit on anybody and
00:03:32
it's kind of difficult to fill those
00:03:34
large tubes so in this case as you can
00:03:37
see I am
00:03:39
administrating a few DNA kits and I can
00:03:42
select any of them right there and then
00:03:47
on the lower part of the screen and I
00:03:50
have privatized most of the names
00:03:52
because this is real people uh except
00:03:56
for my mom and my grandma but the idea
00:03:58
is that you can select up to seven
00:04:01
individuals
00:04:02
and the chromosome browser is going to
00:04:05
compare all the Snippets or or the parts
00:04:10
of the DNA that you and those other
00:04:13
people matches uh you can change anyone
00:04:17
at any time you just click over the
00:04:20
person and take it out and put more or
00:04:23
new people over there uh and you have
00:04:26
again options to search if you have
00:04:30
thousands and thousands of matches you
00:04:33
may need to look for the specific ones
00:04:35
that you want and after you already
00:04:38
select your test case you click compare
00:04:43
and my Heritage will show you very
00:04:47
clearly and with very nice colors the
00:04:50
different areas from your ma in in your
00:04:54
DNA match where you are matching so here
00:04:58
you can see that me and in this case the
00:05:02
red is my a second sample over there
00:05:05
with that lady that I'm privatizing so
00:05:09
we have this snippet of this or this
00:05:13
piece of DNA both in common and you may
00:05:17
have different pieces with different
00:05:19
people even if they are coming all from
00:05:22
the same family because remember each
00:05:25
one of us have a mix of DNA from up to
00:05:29
10 Generations back so sometimes we took
00:05:33
this piece or the other piece from the
00:05:36
maternal or the paternal but looks
00:05:39
what's happening here this is what we
00:05:41
call the triangulated segment meaning
00:05:45
everybody that I have selected the four
00:05:48
individuals and I we all share this
00:05:53
little piece and I could have selected
00:05:56
any other but this is for example what I
00:06:00
have managed to
00:06:03
analyze as the chromosome or the piece
00:06:06
of chromosome that all my singers Family
00:06:11
actually has so the good thing is that
00:06:14
whenever I have a new match I just need
00:06:16
to go to the chromosome browser with
00:06:19
that person and if he or she has this
00:06:22
piece very big chances is that the
00:06:26
person is related to me through the
00:06:29
singer uh browse and branch of my family
00:06:33
and you can change that to be either as
00:06:37
big as eight centimorgans or as small as
00:06:41
two centimorgans and you can just use
00:06:46
um the to add and remove individuals
00:06:49
over there and sometimes you may want to
00:06:52
see the family tree of the people or you
00:06:56
want to review the exact DNA match with
00:07:00
this person because if you already
00:07:03
evaluated and you decided as I did that
00:07:07
everybody with this piece is uh from a
00:07:10
specific Branch I will be able to go to
00:07:13
the DNA matches and see the common
00:07:16
matches that I have with this individual
00:07:18
and that means that all of them over
00:07:22
there are also from the same branch of
00:07:25
my family and what I do there is I take
00:07:29
advantage of another tool which is the
00:07:32
labeler or the capability to add colors
00:07:35
and labels to all the DNA matches and I
00:07:38
add a label to
00:07:40
um to make sure I know that this is
00:07:45
people from that part of the family if
00:07:48
you are into numbers my Heritage will
00:07:51
give you exact numbers of the Snippets
00:07:54
and the places where uh on the
00:07:58
chromosome that you are sharing with
00:08:01
other people
00:08:02
um if you ask me I prefer this view
00:08:05
better the colors and the chromosomes
00:08:09
are easier to understand they're more
00:08:11
Visual and that is a better way to see
00:08:16
how you are related to other people is
00:08:20
this can we save this like you've got
00:08:22
this one section this one triangulated
00:08:25
section on the previous screen that that
00:08:28
shows that all of these people this
00:08:32
little triangulated section Right is
00:08:35
coming from one ancestral couple I'm
00:08:38
assuming I don't know how you set this
00:08:40
up but yep yeah that's right
00:08:43
so can we save that triangulated section
00:08:46
maybe and start building pieces of our
00:08:48
ancestors DNA right now no right now
00:08:52
there is no way to save this uh I just
00:08:56
either capture a a screen capture of
00:09:00
this or
00:09:02
um as I said I use the labels and then I
00:09:05
am able to come back and to select other
00:09:08
people
00:09:09
and just looking at
00:09:12
um live at the report
00:09:15
and seeing if if we all have the same a
00:09:20
piece of of DNA remember that my
00:09:23
Heritage will send you an email uh
00:09:25
normally on Sundays with new DNA matches
00:09:29
and you will have new DNA matches every
00:09:32
week so this is something very Dynamic
00:09:35
this is something uh that it's always
00:09:37
changing can you explain the labeling
00:09:40
part again because I'm not sure I caught
00:09:43
that is that just managing to make a
00:09:45
note that this person is from this
00:09:48
family yes
00:09:49
um I didn't mean to get you off track I
00:09:51
just you know the minds are going and I
00:09:54
start thinking okay now wait a minute
00:09:57
how can we start you know
00:10:00
the ideal scenario is to uh you know
00:10:05
start to rebuild the DNA of our
00:10:08
ancestors so that we can then use that
00:10:10
DNA you know I'm thinking future right
00:10:12
this is down the road this isn't today
00:10:14
but that we can start using that
00:10:17
Collective DNA to then use DNA to trace
00:10:21
back even further if that makes sense if
00:10:23
you're ready I'll go ahead and share
00:10:25
your screen again go ahead
00:10:27
um all right yep so this this is where
00:10:31
uh you will see your DNA matches on my
00:10:34
Heritage and you will notice that on the
00:10:38
corner uh upper left corner of every DNA
00:10:42
match you will be able to check uh here
00:10:46
the square and that will open the
00:10:50
labeler or or the labels for the DNA
00:10:54
match you will have up to 100 characters
00:10:58
and 36 different colors to create those
00:11:02
labels so one way that I like to create
00:11:06
them is with a hint of the relationship
00:11:10
in this case paternal Horowitz which is
00:11:13
very simple for the group of people we
00:11:17
were talking before and the chromosome
00:11:19
browser I will probably choose also
00:11:22
paternal in fact no it will be yeah in
00:11:25
my case I have endogamy here so this is
00:11:28
paternal grandmother singer but I can
00:11:32
create different labels and assign those
00:11:36
labels to different individuals on the
00:11:39
list of DNA matches and once I applied
00:11:43
to them I will see on the a match I will
00:11:49
see the color you could see there in the
00:11:51
left side that it's now a DOT Blue Dot
00:11:54
and you can add more than one label to a
00:11:58
person and then you will also be able to
00:12:02
use the labels as a filter so if you
00:12:04
want to see all the ones that you have
00:12:07
categorized or classified as as your
00:12:11
paternal Horowitz or my grandmother
00:12:13
I can just do that and show them
00:12:18
all over there now there is one more
00:12:22
place where I think it's quite important
00:12:27
the use of the DNA label so if you allow
00:12:32
me just one second that is uh that is uh
00:12:37
huge for those who want to group their
00:12:39
DNA along family branches so that you
00:12:42
can do a color coding and you know I was
00:12:45
actually talking with a gentleman
00:12:47
through email the other day he's like
00:12:48
why so many colors I don't understand
00:12:50
why are we doing all of these colors and
00:12:53
it's so that we can group and focus our
00:12:56
effort because a lot of times we have so
00:12:58
many DNA matches that it can be
00:13:01
overwhelming and so if we can group
00:13:03
those DNA matches down to to you know a
00:13:07
specific branch of the family tree then
00:13:08
it makes uh you know doing that research
00:13:12
with our cousins a little bit easier
00:13:14
yeah especially Connie when like in my
00:13:17
case uh a man Ashkenazi Jews so it means
00:13:20
endogamy from every corner of my family
00:13:24
tree and in in this screen for example
00:13:27
which is the analysis of each of of my
00:13:30
matches and and you can see on the top
00:13:32
that it refers to again my Alter Ego of
00:13:36
Brian Jensen
00:13:38
um we are both matching my mother okay
00:13:41
uh this already tells me something very
00:13:44
important meaning Brian is related to me
00:13:48
through my maternal side and I will be
00:13:51
able also from here to use those color
00:13:55
labels and to even create new ones but
00:13:59
Jacob Smith and Tara's thinner and all
00:14:02
the others here I have no idea who they
00:14:05
are but I can already guarantee you they
00:14:09
are also coming from my maternal family
00:14:13
now my maternal family divided into two
00:14:17
it could be my mother's mother or my
00:14:20
mother's father and because DNA goes up
00:14:23
to 10 Generations back it just keep
00:14:26
dividing as I go further up and and the
00:14:29
further my cousins are because Jacob may
00:14:33
be for for example for my maternal
00:14:37
great-grandfather and Tara maybe from my
00:14:41
maternal great-grandmother from my from
00:14:44
her mother's side but we all share
00:14:47
pieces of the same DNA I can from here I
00:14:51
can choose all these people and put them
00:14:53
in the chromosome browser and one of the
00:14:57
things I am requesting from the team is
00:15:00
to be able to select people from here
00:15:03
and like trigger the chromosome browser
00:15:08
the multi chromosome oh right yeah we
00:15:12
have a little bit of capabilities when
00:15:14
when you click here uh the the
00:15:17
triangulated segments that you have with
00:15:19
the person uh but we want to add more
00:15:23
capabilities to those tools so if I can
00:15:26
choose a different people here and bring
00:15:30
them automatically to the chromosome
00:15:32
browser I may be able to see that common
00:15:35
pieces or the triangulated pieces we
00:15:38
have all in common and determine better
00:15:41
the most recent common ancestor and and
00:15:45
understand better how we are related
00:15:48
that is really the need for the amount
00:15:52
of labels that we have and another thing
00:15:56
that we include here and again this is
00:15:58
feedback that we receive not only from
00:16:02
the friends of my Heritage and the many
00:16:04
experts on DNA but also from the public
00:16:07
they wanted the capability to be able to
00:16:11
sort these matches depending if they are
00:16:14
matching to me or they're matching to
00:16:17
Brian you can see that right now it's by
00:16:20
the total of share DNA so my mom being
00:16:25
49.5 with me is the first one but then
00:16:28
uh 3.1 of Jacob with Brian and then
00:16:32
three from Tara with me when I change
00:16:35
this and I will share for example with
00:16:39
DNA with me look what's what happening
00:16:42
with Jacob and and Tara they're actually
00:16:45
changing places and now I can determine
00:16:49
the closest people to me so I know that
00:16:54
Tara although it says over there that
00:16:57
the estimate is my second cousin once
00:16:59
removed she may be a little bit closer
00:17:02
to me because she may have a little bit
00:17:04
more of DNA
00:17:07
shared with me than with Brian or with
00:17:11
other people so again my Heritage is
00:17:15
always improving and trying to give you
00:17:19
better tools to understand and to find
00:17:22
your relative not only on the DNA aspect
00:17:27
of the genealogy but in any aspect and
00:17:32
that could be the family tree that could
00:17:34
be the pictures and that could be
00:17:36
anything else this is awesome so um is
00:17:40
there anything else you want to show us
00:17:41
with the chromosome browser uh maybe
00:17:43
just uh reminding people that next to
00:17:47
the CM explainer and the chromosome
00:17:49
browser they will find the auto cluster
00:17:51
and that is actually a report that
00:17:55
you're gonna get on your email and you
00:17:58
are saving those reports as we go and
00:18:02
the reason for that is because as I said
00:18:04
before new matches are coming on a
00:18:08
weekly basis and the autoplay cluster
00:18:10
will take exactly this screen okay and
00:18:15
all the the triangulated matches that
00:18:17
you have with a lot of your DNA matches
00:18:21
not only with Brian for example or a
00:18:23
specific other individual we will take
00:18:26
middle grounds uh so my mom for example
00:18:29
will not be there my grandparents will
00:18:31
not be there Brian Tara Jacob will be
00:18:34
there and they're going to be grouped by
00:18:38
those uh common ancestors so so Brian
00:18:42
Tara and Jacob are going to be all in
00:18:45
the same cluster and that means that
00:18:48
we're all related through the same
00:18:50
branch of the family so when you are
00:18:52
combining and using all the tools at the
00:18:55
same time you will be able to understand
00:18:58
again better where all these people came
00:19:02
from and and how you are related so uh
00:19:05
by having this on your email at some
00:19:09
point you could generate a different
00:19:12
Auto cluster report every week and you
00:19:15
can open those reports and see different
00:19:17
individuals there because again your
00:19:20
match as well will change and will add
00:19:22
more people there you will be able to
00:19:25
analyze and understand better your
00:19:29
relationship with those individuals
00:19:31
I think the auto cluster cool tool is is
00:19:34
very cool and for those who may not have
00:19:38
a clue as to what we're talking about
00:19:39
Auto clustering basically is another way
00:19:42
of grouping but it does it visually so
00:19:43
that all of the DNA cousin matches that
00:19:46
belong that relate to each other they
00:19:48
all kind of group in this it almost
00:19:50
looks like an Excel spreadsheet but it's
00:19:52
not but they all kind of group together
00:19:55
in these colored boxes the DNA cousins
00:19:57
are across the top and across the side
00:19:59
and so it really is one of the coolest
00:20:04
tools because quickly I mean really
00:20:07
quickly you can visualize and group all
00:20:09
those DNA cousins together that relate
00:20:12
to each other and it's it's so quickly
00:20:15
that I already have a screen there for
00:20:18
you let me show that then to show yeah
00:20:21
and of course I am obfuscating the name
00:20:24
of the people that you will see both on
00:20:27
the horizontal and on the vertical uh
00:20:30
sites but all all these individuals here
00:20:34
that are belonging to the red cluster
00:20:37
for example those are all connections of
00:20:41
of people that are related between
00:20:44
themselves and you will be able to
00:20:47
detect uh different uh branches of your
00:20:50
family with the different colors and
00:20:53
because DNA is something that goes a
00:20:56
little bit random you may have some gray
00:20:59
areas and and some dark or light gray uh
00:21:05
notes from between those people but the
00:21:09
majority are going to be allocated in
00:21:12
these different clusters and and you
00:21:14
will be very clear see oh this cluster
00:21:17
is my Smith family or this one is my my
