RLP 252: How Accurate are Thrulines?

<p dir="ltr">Today's episode of Research Like a Pro is about AncestryDNA's Thrulines hypotheses. We respond to a listener question about how accurate Thrulines is. We discuss new AncestryDNA technology SideView and how they use that to split up matches by parent. We review strategies for analyzing Thrulines to see if it's accurate or not. We talk about matches sharing small amounts of DNA and how they are often found in inaccurate Thurlines hypotheses. </p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>Links</strong></p> <p dir="ltr">RLP 130: How to Evaluate an Ancestry Thrulines Hypothesis - <a href= "https://familylocket.com/rlp-130-how-to-evaluate-an-ancestry-thrulines-hypothesis/"> https://familylocket.com/rlp-130-how-to-evaluate-an-ancestry-thrulines-hypothesis/</a> </p> <p dir="ltr">AncestryDNA Thrulines support article - <a href= "https://support.ancestry.com/s/article/AncestryDNA-ThruLines?language=en_US"> https://support.ancestry.com/s/article/AncestryDNA-ThruLines?language=en_US</a> </p> <p dir="ltr">DNA Matches Split Up By Parent - <a href= "https://support.ancestry.com/s/article/DNA-Matches-Split-Up-By-Parent"> https://support.ancestry.com/s/article/DNA-Matches-Split-Up-By-Parent</a> </p> <p dir="ltr">How to Evaluate an AncestryDNA Thrulines Hypothesis - <a href= "https://familylocket.com/how-to-evaluate-an-ancestrydna-thrulines-hypothesis/"> https://familylocket.com/how-to-evaluate-an-ancestrydna-thrulines-hypothesis/</a> </p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>Sponsor - Newspapers.com</strong></p> <p dir="ltr">For listeners of this podcast, <a href= "https://go.newspapers.com/radio.php?xid=4665">Newspapers.com</a> is offering new subscribers 20% off a Publisher Extra subscription so you can start exploring today.
