... you don’t have more than one Chromosome Browser Results (CBR) file from FamilyTreeDNA of your own to use, I’ve made up a set of sample files you can use to try DMT.

... (DMT) program into the Innovator Showdown competition. I don’t recall them having a DNA analysis program entered before so I’ll be interested to see what they think of it, and I’ll be very happy if it’s selected as one of the 10 semi-finalists. I’ve already prepared my DMT page at the Devpost site for the contest and I have to add a 60 to 90 second video about it ...
