Goldenstone,
I've spoken with Sarah a few times, and she's been polite and professional. I didn't ask for any information that might constitute material nonpublic information, because I don't want to step on that land mine. (Otherwise, I would have asked her all kinds of questions.) When I inquired about taking the AncestryByDNA test for myself (something I've intended to do, for a long time,) she did say there was a lab instrument that was down, but that it should be fixed in a "few weeks." (That was a week or so ago.) I'll try to get back in touch with her relatively soon, about that.
I'll also see if I can get a sense of just how many of the numerous AncestryByDNA distributors/providers, may actually be running DNAPrint Genomics' tests on their own equipment, and (one would presume) paying licensing fees to DNAPrint. If any such activity is occurring, that would be a previously unknown/unproven (to us) income stream, which would (in my opinion) have important implications, re: DNAG's value and the company's survivability during this financing squeeze.
