We didn't have his DNA.

So I really don't see it as a problem.

I work on cold cases all the time where we have DNA that maybe was collected in the 80s or 90s and we're just getting a profile today.

That doesn't mean that we somehow created it.

It's always been there.

We're just developing the DNA profile.

at this time.

So I don't see it as an issue.

That's true, but this is what I think he's talking about is genetic genealogy and SNPs.

SNPs, which is single nucleotide polymorphisms.

So we're looking at single base pair differences.

So a lot of data as compared to traditional DNA testing.

that's a lot more difficult to deal with mixtures.

So he hasn't come out and said that exactly.

I think it's kind of lost in translation, but that's my opinion and what he's talking about and why he said the technology is advancing and in weeks or months or a year we might be able to do something with it.

I think he's talking about

Deconvoluting mixtures of snips where we're just not there today with, we can deal with a little bit of a mixture.

So if you had a major, if you had a two person mixture and the major contributor was the suspect that could be worked with.

If the minor contributor is the suspect, they really can't do a lot with that right now with snips.
