Introducing BanyanDNA – An Interview with Leah Larkin
In this episode of Best Websites, New Media Editor and Guest Host Rachel Christian interviews Leah Larkin about an exciting new genealogy tool called BanyanDNA.
You can catch Dr. Larkin at this year’s RootsTech conference to learn more about BanyanDNA.
Note: BanyanDNA differs from WATO in that it doesn’t suggest hypotheses. BanyanDNA can give an estimate of which hypotheses are most likely among those the user set. If the user neglected to consider some valid alternatives, the tool won’t consider them.
