METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DISPLAYING GENETIC AND GENEALOGICAL DATA
A method and system for displaying genetic and genealogical data includes displaying indicators of related individuals. At least one genetically related individual is identified from a database in response to a genetic input of an inquiring individual. Indicators of the inquiring individual and each of the at least one genetically related individual are displayed. The system includes a computer system having a display device, a processor device, a database and media having computer-executable instructions configured to display indicators of related individuals according to a method. The method includes identifying at least one genetically related individual from a database in response to a genetic input of an inquiring individual and geographically displaying indicators of the inquiring individual and each of the at least one genetically related individual.
1 . A method of displaying indicators of related individuals, comprising:
identifying at least one genetically related individual from a database in response to a genetic input of an inquiring individual; and
displaying indicators of the inquiring individual and each of the at least one genetically related individual, wherein the database is a chromosomal database.
2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising displaying indicators of genealogically related individuals from a genealogical database corresponding to the inquiring individual and each of the at least one genetically related individual.
3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein displaying indicators of genealogically related individuals further comprises incrementally displaying the indicators of the related individuals according to a time increment corresponding to a life event of each of the related individuals.
4 . The method of claim 3 , wherein displaying the indicators of the related individuals according to time increments further comprises replacing one of the indicators of one of the related individuals with another indictor of one of the related individuals when the time increment temporally precedes the life event.
5 . The method of claim 3 , wherein displaying the indicators of the related individuals according to time increments further comprises differently displaying the indictors when no predecessor of the genealogically related individuals exists in the genealogical database.
6 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising coalescing ones of the indicators of the related individuals at a specific geographical location when no predecessors of the genealogically related individuals exist in the genealogical database and genetic indicators of corresponding ones of the at least one genetically related individual include genetic similarities corresponding to the geographical locations.
7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the chromosomal database is one of an X-chromosome database, a Y-chromosome database, a mitochondrial database or an autosomal database.
8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein displaying indicators of genetically related individuals comprises displaying the indicators of the genetically related individuals relative to a demographic.
9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the demographic is displayed relative to one of an increment of time or a geographic location.
10 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the demographic is a population characteristic defined by at least one of a geographic location, governmental boundary, political association, tribal association, familial association, physical trait or behavioral trait.
11 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the demographic is a societal characteristic defined by at least one of a geographic location, governmental boundary, political association, tribal association, familial association, physical trait or behavioral trait.
12 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the demographic is health condition defined by at least one of a geographic location, governmental boundary, political association, tribal association, familial association, physical trait or behavioral trait.
13 . A computer system having a display device, a processor device, a database and media having computer-executable instructions configured to display indicators of related individuals according to a method, comprising:
identifying at least one genetically related individual from a database in response to a genetic input of an inquiring individual; and
displaying indicators of the inquiring individual and each of the at least one genetically related individual, wherein the database is a chromosomal database.
14 . The system of claim 13 , further comprising displaying indicators of genealogically related individuals from a genealogical database corresponding to the inquiring individual and each of the at least one genetically related individual.
15 . The system of claim 13 , wherein displaying indicators of genealogically related individuals further comprises incrementally displaying the indicators of the related individuals according to a time increment corresponding to a life event of each of the related individuals.
16 . The system of claim 15 , wherein displaying the indicators of the related individuals according to time increments further comprises replacing one of the indicators of one of the related individuals with another indictor of one of the related individuals when the time increment temporally precedes the life event.
17 . The system of claim 15 , wherein displaying the indicators of the related individuals according to time increments further comprises differently displaying the indictors when no predecessor of the genealogically related individuals exists in the genealogical database.
18 . The system of claim 13 , further comprising coalescing ones of the indicators of the related individuals at a specific geographical location when no predecessors of the genealogically related individuals exist in the genealogical database and genetic indicators of corresponding ones of the at least one genetically related individuals include genetic similarities corresponding to the geographical locations.
19 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the chromosomal database is one of an X-chromosome database, a Y-chromosome database, a mitochondrial database or an autosomal database.
20 . The system of claim 13 , wherein displaying indicators of genetically related individuals comprises displaying the indicators of the genetically related individuals relative to a demographic.
21 . The system of claim 20 , wherein the demographic is displayed relative to one of an increment of time or a geographic location.
22 . The system of claim 20 , wherein the demographic is a population characteristic defined by at least one of a geographic location, governmental boundary, political association, tribal association, familial association, physical trait or behavioral trait.
23 . The system of claim 20 , wherein the demographic is a societal characteristic defined by at least one of a geographic location, governmental boundary, political association, tribal association, familial association, physical trait or behavioral trait.
24 . The system of claim 20 , wherein the demographic is health condition defined by at least one of a geographic location, governmental boundary, political association, tribal association, familial association, physical trait or behavioral trait.
25 . Computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions for performing the method of displaying indicators of related individuals, the method comprising:
identifying at least one genetically related individual from a database in response to a genetic input of an inquiring individual; and
displaying indicators of the inquiring individual and each of the at least one genetically related individual, wherein the database is a chromosomal database.
