This was the only real hit! I'm amazed that no one seems to be talking about this since I'd expect it to have potential as a real "game changer". I follow several big genetic-genealogy forums and not a peep on them yet.<br /><br />Science seems often to have a tenancy to be overly impressed with what it thinks it knows, ignoring that there is always even more it doesn't. The notion that nature would pass useless DNA through untold generations always seemed laughable on it's face. Perhaps the STR & SNP mutations which up until now have been assumed to be of no more use than a convenient to gauge relatedness will now prove to have some functional effects.<br /><br /> Broterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09308678574128202551noreply@blogger.com
