This August, we are launching the first issue of DNA Tribes Digest, a free electronic magazine where we will discuss topics of interest to our customers. Each issue of DNA Tribes Digest will take an in-depth look at our analysis of world genetic structure to complement your own personal ancestry research. The first issue's feature article "Who are the Americans?" examines the genetic composition of Caucasian and African-American populations in the United States and how it relates to global genetic patterns and the history of North America.

Our August 29, 2008 issue can be viewed and downloaded free in printable PDF format below:
