GEDmatch

GEDmatch is an online platform that allows individuals to upload their DNA test results from various genetic testing companies to explore their ancestry and genealogy. By comparing DNA data with others in the database, users can find potential relatives, discover genetic traits, and gain insights into their ethnic backgrounds. The site is particularly notable for its role in solving criminal cases by helping law enforcement identify suspects through genetic connections. However, users should be aware of privacy concerns, as their genetic data may be accessible to others for research and investigative purposes.
