RLP 259: The Coverage Estimator

Today's episode of Research Like a Pro is about the Coverage Estimator tool at DNA Painter. We discuss the purpose of the tool, some ways to use it, and how to use it. We also share some examples of how we've used it. Nicole shares her Joanna West case and how the coverage estimator showed increased coverage as more test-takers were added. Diana shares how she is using the coverage estimator to track the coverage for all her paternal ancestors in Airtable.
