Original: 9/11 victim identified using first-of-its-kind genetic genealogy technique

Forensic investigators have identified a victim of the September 11, 2001 attacks using a first-of-its-kind genetic genealogy technique, marking a breakthrough in the decades-long effort to identify all of the nearly 3,000 victims. The method combines DNA analysis with genealogical research, and news of the identification is drawing attention to both the advance in forensic science and the ongoing remembrance of the attacks.
