What is a DNA test, and does it ‘work’? Why might someone want to test their DNA, and what will they find out? Previously unknown cousins and relatives? Skeletons in the cupboard? Possibly all of the above…

The rise in popularity of DNA testing is undeniable, thanks in large part to ITV’s Long Lost Family, of which Ariel and her team are lead researchers. ‘The Curious Cases of Rutherford and Fry’ is one of the flagship podcasts on the new BBC Sounds platform, and they have chosen the subject of DNA Testing for their opening episode.

Whether you’re trying to trace a missing family member or explore family traits and hereditary illnesses, a quick and easy DNA test can give you a wealth of information in just a few weeks.

Ariel and her team use DNA analysis to find family connections and to trace missing family members in ways that would previously have been impossible without DNA testing. Many of the Long Lost Family cases were cracked using DNA, so it’s no wonder the popularity of testing is on the rise.
