Published Study (April 3, 2024): "Modern Blackfoot people descend from an ancient ice age lineage"4/4/2024
 Alex, B. (2024, April 3). "Modern Blackfoot people descend from an ancient ice age lineage: A new study of historic and modern genomes may help tribes protect ancestral lands and water rights." Science. https://www.science.org/content/article/modern-blackfoot-people-descend-ancient-ice-age-lineage Link to original, Open Access published report:
From the published report summary: "We show that the genomics of sampled individuals from the Blackfoot Confederacy belong to a previously undescribed ancient lineage that diverged from other genomic lineages in the Americas in Late Pleistocene times. Using multiple complementary forms of knowledge, we provide a scenario for Blackfoot population history that fits with oral tradition and provides a plausible model for the evolutionary process of the peopling of the Americas."

"The DNA of Privacy and the Privacy of DNA" - A Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Attorney Weighs In.1/9/2024
Jillson, E. (2024, January 5). "The DNA of Privacy and the Privacy of DNA." Federal Trade Commission. FTC Business Blog. https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/blog/2024/01/dna-privacy-privacy-dna  Image is in the Public Domain Quotation from the blog post: "Companies selling genetic testing products tout the benefits of DNA-based insights – learning more about health, lineage, family tree – so that consumers can seek medical attention, customize their diet or exercise regimen, find long-lost relatives, or understand more about their background. But for consumers to realize benefits from DNA-based products or services, consumers need to be able to trust their accuracy – and trust that the company’s practices related to the DNA of privacy (data minimization, purpose limitations, retention limits, etc.) will protect the privacy of their DNA."
