In this bonus episode, Louise continues her 'Send This To...' series. She speaks with Professor of Forensic Science Dr. Claire Glynn, an expert in forensic biology, forensic DNA analysis, and Forensic Investigative Genetic Genealogy (FIGG). Claire explains what we’re looking for with DNA test results, and what we can potentially discover from even distant relative matches. As the title suggests, the idea is to ‘send this to’ anyone it could be relevant for.
