DNA Testing + Genealogies + Internet = Huh?

According to a press release, Ancestry.com is teaming up Sorenson Genomics, so that people can add the results of various genetic tests to their online family tree websites. I don't want to scream fire in a movie theater, especially since I don't know what the "DNA results" will correspond to, but at the same time, you have to wonder where the oversight is, who will have access to this information, if full-family consent will be necessary, ... the questions are endless.

Read a blurb on the release here.
