[QUOTE="Dave70968, post: 2948190, member: 13624"] This. Cheap tests don't use very many markers, making false correlations more likely. These are [I]not[/I] forensic-grade tests (which still occasionally incur false-positives), but they're being used for forensic purposes. Thanks, but no thanks. Additionally: as medical science advances, we're learning to read DNA to determine relative rates of certain diseases. What happens when a security breach happens (have you noticed how many we've had lately), and your sequence ends up in the hands of your health insurance company? [/QUOTE]
