New lists: DNA-Newbie and DNA-Anthrogenealogy
Charles Kerchner has started a new list on Yahoo Groups called DNA-Anthrogenealogy. This joins another Yahoo list, DNA-Newbie.
Both lists are recomended for those interested in DNA testing for Genealogy. DNA-Newbie is for the beginning Genetic Genealogist and DNA_Anthrogenealogy is for those searching for their deeper genetic roots in population demography rather than personal genealogy.

There is an article in the Mercury News on the Personal Genome Project being sponsored by Dr George Church at Harvard:
In a few years, knowing your own personal genome may improve your health
Dr Church is also the author of the article on DNA testing in the current Scientific American, Genomes for All.
