DNAprint Genomics (DNAG)

This went right over my head last night when I read that PR! DNAPrint introduced a "NEW" database system allowing investigators to query the database and to infer values for certain BGA traits. They're NOT talking about just Ancestry here folks. They're talking about other traits, thus, the "fuzzy photo" reference by Dr. Frudakis:

DNAPrint(TM) introduced a novel database system and algorithms to allow investigators to make accurate and objective inferences about certain elements of physical appearance from a DNAWitness 2.0 BioGeographical Ancestry admixture profile. The system allows the customer to query the database with a BGA profile and visualize historically typed samples and to computationally infer values for certain anthropometric traits. For certain traits, and in certain BGA groups, BGA admixture can be used to make accurate predictions of trait value and the system was described as integral for allowing an empirical construction of partial physical profiles from crime scene DNA.

This is much more than I had thought.
