DNAprint Genomics (DNAG)

[frogdreaming]

Perhaps you should read it again.

Nowhere does that quote contradict the fact that DNAPrint Genomics' intellectual property, in the Ancestry Informative Markers, is an advantage.

"The MHMM makes it possible to identify genomic blocks of a particular ancestry by use of any high-density single-nucleotide–polymorphism panel. One application of our method is to perform admixture mapping without genotyping special ancestry-informative–marker panels."

Clearly if the same information can be obtained without using "special ancestry informative-marker panels" [AIM's], then there is no 'intellectual property' advantage to those AIM panels. To the contrary, paying extra for AIM panels to obtain the same information that is available without them, would seem to be a disadvantage.
