In regards to the Genographic Project.
This project has two potential outcomes in regard to DNAP.
The first and most optimistic is that DNAP is involved and will soon announce it's involvement. Such a scenario is quite feasible given the apparent connections between DNAP and IBM and the previous work DNAP has done in this area. Such a project would be an excellent forum for DNAP to display it's wares and expertise. Such an involvement would be a fitting explanation for the current rally.
The second and perhaps more uncomfortable outcome is that DNAP is not involved and has been passed over by the oganizers of the effort. However short sighted or unsound a decision it would be particularly problematic for DNAP for two reasons. Obviously the dismissal of their technology would be a blow, but more important would be the final results of the project. Consider that it will be impossible to complete the goals of the project in documenting the genetic journey of humankind from it's origin in Africa to it's complete inhabitation of the planet without duplicating and superceding all of DNAP's accomplishments to date in the forensic realm. The PR states specifically the questions it seeks to answer;
How did we, each of us, end up where we are? Why do we appear in such a wide array of different colors and features?
By the time they have completed their mission and have answered their questions, DNAP will have serious and public competition.
Let's hope for the first option.
