GE, the SNP work is officially being done by Orchid e.g.

"So the team turned to other methods, such as mitochondrial DNA analysis, which is being performed by Celera Genomics, and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) analysis, which is being performed by Orchid Biosciences' GeneScreen."

However, this is utilizing SNP testing where traditional STR testing is not sufficient. At some stage, after concerted efforts with the various conventional testing approaches, there will still be a large number of unidentified DNA samples. I wonder whether DNAWitness might not be used for these to try to identify individuals based on ancestry and the other traits that are perhaps now available.
