Senior Scientist
Ethan Jewett, PhD, MS, MAEthan Jewett is a population geneticist at 23andMe, where he applies mathematical genetic approaches to help people understand their ancestry and family connections. Ethan earned his PhD in genetics from Stanford University and he has since conceived and developed new tools for 23andMe customers, including the algorithm behind the auto-building Family Tree feature, new DNA relationship predictions revealing that many 5th and 6th cousins are actually 20th cousins or beyond, and the inference of ancestral genomes from DNA.
