DNAprint Genomics (DNAG)

MattG,

>>I don't like the way DNAWitness is worded on the Lynn Peavey web site.

Makes it sound like you have to have a suspect first to determine his/her ancestry.

It would be better if it read something like, "determine ancestral characteristics from an anonymous DNA sample"<<

This is copied from the Lynn Peavey listing:

>>The DNAWitness Collection Kit makes presumptive DNA testing for biogeographical ancestry a breeze! Find out what ancestry your suspect is<<

Do you notice the confused syntax in both cases? Would not a forensic scientist simply describe determination of racial profile of a suspect rather than "what ancestry your suspect is?"

There is an obvious attempt to work around a sensitive subject IMO.

Best, Terry
