I have for some time wondered whether a combined STR/SNP approach might well be able to shed more light on population affinity, and whether this has any possible bearing on the development of ABD/DNAWitness 3.0.

Perhaps something in this statement:

We have studied genetic variation at nine autosomal short tandem repeat loci in 20 globally distributed human populations defined by geographic and ethnic origins, viz., African, Caucasian, Asian, Native American and Oceanic.

20 populations they say? Hmmmmmmmmmmm.......

This from the DNAP 10K:

We hope to enlist universities and other personnel to help us collect DNA samples from across the globe. We have initiated plans to expand our scientific advisory board to include other scientists who will actively contribute to our effort in increasing the number of BGA sub-categories from our current four, to as many as 20.

20 you say? Hmmmmmmmmm.....

I have wondered for some time whether we might see Dr. Chakraborty added to the scientific advisory board...
