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 genetic 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 genetic 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 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 comprising:
a. identifying at least one genetically related individual from a genetic database in response to a genetic input of an inquiring individual; and
b. displaying indicators of the inquiring individual and each of the at least one genetically related individual.
2 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising geographically 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 system of claim 1 , wherein geographically 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 system of claim 3 , wherein the life event is at least one of birth, religious event, legal event or death.
5 . The system of claim 3 , wherein geographically 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 indicator of one of the related individuals when the time increment temporally precedes the life event.
6 . The system of claim 3 , wherein geographically 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.
7 . The system of claim 3 , wherein the time increment corresponds to a quantity of years.
8 . The system of claim 3 , wherein the time increment corresponds to the quantity of years of an approximate generation.
9 . The system 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 individuals include genetic similarities corresponding to the geographical locations.
10 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the genetic database is a Y-chromosome database.
11 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the genetic database is a mitochondrial database.
12 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the genetic database is an autosomal database.
13 . The system of claim 1 , wherein identifying at least one genetically related individual comprises identifying at least one genetically related individual from a genetic database which are within a first threshold of differences from a genetic input of an inquiring individual.
14 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the first threshold of differences is reduced when a quantity of the at least one genetically related individual exceeds a second threshold.
15 . A computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable instructions for performing a method of displaying indicators of related individuals, the method comprising:
a. identifying at least one genetically related individual from a genetic database in response to a genetic input of an inquiring individual; and
b. displaying indicators of the inquiring individual and each of the at least one genetically related individual.
