DNAGuru

Marja Pirttivaara’s website, dnaguru. fi, shares information and commentary on genetic genealogy, family history, and DNA research. Through articles and educational material, Pirttivaara helps readers understand how consumer DNA testing, genetic data analysis, and traditional genealogical research can illuminate ancestry and connections between people.

Her writing covers developments in the field, testing services and databases, privacy and ethical considerations, ancient DNA discoveries, and the use of genetic genealogy in historical investigations. The site also introduces practical ways to explore DNA, including a simple activity for extracting DNA from fruit, and considers how children can engage with genetics and family stories. Pirttivaara is also the author of Juuresi näkyvät, a book that connects DNA, maps, and personal ancestry.

The website includes information about the author, contact details, genealogy research guidelines, and privacy policies. Rather than presenting a DNA testing service, dnaguru. fi is an informational resource for people interested in learning about genetic genealogy, understanding available tools, and approaching personal DNA data thoughtfully
