For instance, someone has been harping on the fact that an instrument was down in the lab, at DNAG HQ. However, recall that DNAPrint Genomics and Beckman Coulter signed a sales and marketing agreement... DNAPrint's tests can be run by technicians in labs that buy Beckman's SNPStream DNA sequencing equipment.
Google search that brings up news about this:

From the phone calls I've made to some of the AncestryByDNA distributors, considering what they've told me, my sense is that some of them have bought SNPStream equipment, and are running their own tests. The last distributor I called used wording that implied that they're running their own tests, but that the tests are the same as DNAPrint Genomics' tests, and based on the DNAPrint Genomics' patents. (A question is, how much revenue is DNAPrint deriving from such activity? I hope we find out, soon.)
Another point... An article came out yesterday, about St. Jude Children's Hospital and their ongoing research into ALL (acute lymphoblastic leukemia.) We know that St. Jude has been a partner of DNAPrint Genomics (see links below.) Perhaps now they also have their own SNPStream equipment, and are able to run DNAPrint's tests on-site. (Another educated guess.)
