Comment: A chromosome browser is a very useful tool to help identify DNA matches, by looking for shared segments of DNA between an identified genetic cousin and the profile being matched with. On this front, it's one up to LivingDNA versus Ancestry, which is still languishing in some weird abyss over the issue.

But there is more than one abyss, and Living DNA still has no tree matching facility worth talking about, which would be far more useful. This remains the holding message on the issue:

The seed has been planted! Our new family tree feature is growing every day. We are working on a way to display your matches in a way that is simple to understand, and is based on your genetics.

In development

Come on folks, you were the future once, and this is the diametric opposite of the death of a thousand cuts...
