frogger...This text is from the recently updated company website. Does this sound like they've abaondoned the test?

DNAWITNESSTM 3.0, will offer a dramatic improvement by adding a new predictive measure, eye color. We have developed and filed a patent application for RETINOME, a test for the inference of eye color from DNA. The SNP based method for testing eye color is the first of its kind. The method employs complex math and combines human pigmentation gene SNP combinations and ancestry informative markers to predict human eye color accurately and sensitively. DNAPrintTM has been working over the past year to update the RETINOME panel of SNPs in order to predict eye color shade and actual eye colors with greater accuracy. Validation experiments necessary to define the precise accuracy are currently ongoing. If test performance is satisfactory, DNAPrintTM will begin selling the test to the forensics community as an integrated component of DNAWITNESSTM 3.0.


Of the nearly 1.2 million reported incidents of violent crime in the U.S., only about 50% result in an arrest, and only a small percentage of those result in a criminal conviction. In violent crimes, DNA evidence is left at a crime scene or on a victim’s body in the vast majority of cases. DNAPrintTM can provide law enforcement with a potential suspect’s genetic heritage. Additionally, with the introduction of DNAWITNESSTM 3.0, DNAPrintTM expects to have the ability to provide law enforcement with a potential suspect’s eye color. It is our objective to add additional inherited traits in the future.

Doesn't look abandoned to me.....
