This is interesting. Yesterday's PR looked a little odd in isolation and it did suggest that something else was to follow it.

Here is some background to this:

http://www.investorshub.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=1837734

"The 2.5 version will add a number of markers, but it will still be using the same four population divisions (Indo-European, Native American, African, and East Asian). The additional markers will tighten the confidence intervals."

"The 3.0 version will subdivide those four categories into more groups."

So, it looks as if they are now instead positioning 2.5 as an intermediate intra-continental test rather than waiting for 3.0. I wonder whether we might also see another follow-on announcement related to usage of the test from another agency...
