BanyanDNA

BanyanDNA is a genetic genealogy tool unlike any other. It can be used for building, visualizing, and analyzing complex family trees to help you identify unknown parents, grandparents and beyond, or simply to validate your existing family tree based on the autosomal DNA amounts shared between any individuals.

BanyanDNA is the only application that can support multiple-relationships, pedigree collapse, union couples, and more. Real-time simulations allow more accurate relationship calculations and hypothesis probability analyses. Documented relationships in your tree that are not supported by the shared autosomal DNA amounts become easy to spot.

In addition, BanyanDNA is a robust and flexible tree visualization tool, allowing fast, easy tree building with customized highlighting features to help you better depict and spot patterns.

This year we’ll be at RootsTech demonstrating the power of BanyanDNA at our booth throughout the show. In the year since we’ve launched our developers have been busy! We’ve added countless new features, making BanyanDNA even more powerful and easier to use. These include light mode, the ability to undo and redo changes, enhanced calculation tools, and more.

Come see what’s new, and how BanyanDNA can help you solve your genealogy mysteries. Stop by our booth at RootsTech (booth #1425) or visit us online at BanyanDNA.
