ISOGG Epigenetics Facebook Group
The ISOGG Epigenetics Facebook Group was founded when groups admins, ISOGG Director Katherine Borges and Diane Dillon, met for the first time at the Family Tree LIVE conference held in London in April 2019. Diane's cousin, Les Binns, designed the cover photo for the group. The ISOGG Epigenetics Facebook group is a subgroup of the main ISOGG Facebook group, but the difference is epigenetics and medical-related genetics are promoted within the subgroup.With the onset of the Coronavirus Pandemic in 2020, SARS-CoV-2 information sharing is welcomed as well.
