First of all, I want to express my gratitude to all those who’ve contributed to Dr. Ugo Perego’s “Reconstructing Joseph Smith Genome” project. He has met his initial goal of $5000, which will permit him to do a great deal of work, and has announced a new goal-total of $10,000.

So the work continues, but its initial phase has now been financially enabled.

In the meanwhile, Dr. Brian Hales has published a short piece on his very useful website Joseph Smith’s Polygamy that provides some of the historical background to Dr. Perego’s scientific work:
