Jewish genetics fall into two categories.
1) The study of individuals and families in order to clarify their ancestry. For example, a Western Jew might find that some of his ancestors were among those expelled from Spain.
2) The study of Jewish communities and the Jewish people in general. This may have the purpose of trying to ameliorate such symptoms as Tay-Sach's disease, or it may be to trace the inter-connectedness of the various Diaspora communities, or it may trace the history of Jews as a whole. For example, it has been found that Ashkenazim, and other Jews from all over the Earth, are quite closely related and all originated in the Middle East.
A 2013 study of Ashkenazi mitochondrial DNA, and an analysis of a report by Nicholas Wade in 2000, "provided genetic witness that Jewish communities have, to a remarkable extent, retained their biological identity separate from their host populations, evidence of relatively little intermarriage or conversion into Judaism over the centuries. The results accord with Jewish history and tradition."
