Webinars/Videos about DNA:
Legacy Family Tree Webinars has 46 recorded webinars about DNA as of May 2018. As of March 2020, they have 159 recorded webinars. Update (as of May 2024): Legacy Family Tree Webinars now has 280 recorded webinars about DNA and several are free. If you subscribe, you can view any of them at any time. If you don't subscribe, you can still search for a few of the free ones and be on the lookout for their upcoming webinars, which are free for viewing by anyone for a week after their broadcast.

At YouTube:
Autosomal DNA: A Step-by-step Approach, with Maurice Gleeson
Also search YouTube for genetic genealogy. There are lots of videos there. Change your search terms to narrow down search results to mtDNA, Y-DNA, or atDNA.

Third Party Tools:
GEDmatch: A website that provides tools (some free, some premium) for DNA and genealogical analysis. By uploading your DNA raw data file to this website, you can explore matches with others who have uploaded from other websites.
DNAPainter: A website where you can "paint" your chromosomes. Also has the shared cM Project and WATO: What Are The Odds tool.
Genetic Affairs: The AutoCluster tool graphically organizes your DNA matches into shared match clusters.
Leeds Method of DNA Color Clustering: Similar to what the AutoCluster tool does automatically, this method, which I did in Excel, helps visualize how close cousins are related to each other and to you.
Maguire Method: Using a simple tree to display shared cM data among a group of related individuals.
