The DNA Interest Group was formed in 2005 and held its first meeting
in conjunction with the International Society of Genetic Genealogy (ISOGG) in
July 2005. The group focus is to provide education to assist genealogists to
understand the DNA test processes and interpret their test results. Since 2005
there have been many changes in the types of DNA test services, the number of
DNA test companies for genealogical purposes and evolving databases and tools
for analytical purposes. Project administrators coordinate across the various
facets of genetic genealogy to help lead the DNA Interest Group members into
the future.
