Turi started her career in archaeology, first in Canada and later reading for a degree in Archaeology and Anthropology at the University of Cambridge. Graduating with a BA(Hons), she then went to study at the world-famous Genetics Department at the University of Leicester on a scholarship, to read for an MSc in Molecular Genetics.
She went on to study for a PhD in Molecular Genetics on genetic genealogy. Her award-winning PhD examined the relationship between the Y chromosome and British surnames combining forensic DNA techniques with history and genealogy, the first large scale study of its kind. Professor Sir Alec Jeffreys,who invented DNA fingerprinting, was one of her PhD advisors. Named as one of the world’s ‘rockstar genealogists’, her work since has covered not only family history but the use of genetic genealogy in forensics and historical cases.
She is working on a number of forensic/ancient cold cases including King Richard III, Robert the Bruce and others. She has been conducting genetic genealogical research for over 20 years. For some projects she is under a confidentiality agreement and unable to speak about them but is happy to talk about cases for which she is not under a CDA.
Professor Turi King is currently featuring in BBC 2/Minnow Films DNA Family Secrets.
Turi is also Professor of Public Engagement and Genetics at the University of Leicester, and carries out a great deal of media and television work, as well as public speaking. She is an Honorary Fellow of the British Science Association, a Fellow of the Society of Biology, a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London, an Affiliate Member of the Chartered Society of Forensic Sciences and a Member of the International Society of Forensic Geneticists.

People just cant see past their own world to see how much this has helped law enforcement, people looking for lost loved ones, etc. Brilliant science and putting together the human family tree
Enjoyed the short class, now for the full hour talk ^^
Wonderful content,very well explained. I have a question for the video director, why keep cutting shots from front view to side? I find it distracting because she is half talking to me, and half not, it seems unnecessary, :-/
Very interesting
Profiling to the max!
Ms. King, I was thinking about the IGG done in the Idaho 4 murders, and how it must have been easier in that case with a known suspect (Bryan Kohberger) than, say, the Golden State Killer as an unknown suspect. Have you done IGG with a known suspect? How much easier working up the family tree with only one person in mind - in tandem with working down the family tree as you described in the video?
On full speed to the brave new world...
I wish you people would just leave us alone!

Cant watch it, due to camera moving, very annoying, but I listened
Are there no privacy laws? Don't people have to give permission for their DNA to become publicly available? What does one do when no one in families has DNA tests? Or are they being done without people's consent? This sounds very intrusive.... every one is a "perpetrator" of something in someones eyes.
People use these databases to find and be found through biological relationships. The DNA isn't publicly available.
@@jasonlee1727 In order for this data to be used to "find and be found" it can not remain private either. Of course once it is used in Law enforcement such as described in this video, it has been made public. Not only are generic uses available, but also personal details such as names and other relationships. Witness protection programs become impossible as well. one more way for governments to more closely control their people.
Professor King mentions Sweden towards the end, and that's a case (murder of a young boy and a woman) from 2004 that was solved three years ago with the help of this method. But a year later the Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection declared that the method was unlawful, though there is currently an inquiry looking at the issue and the law could change.

@@lenwhatever4187 When you use a service like "23 and me", you give them permission to save a copy of your DNA and use it for things like this. It's also why they can tell you about relatives already in their database that you might not have known about.
Alright len, no more drugs ok? You're acting a "little" paranoid 😆 🤣 😂
