Does anyone know what DNA tests are being used to build the DNA database
for identification of the US military? It might be a possible source of
data that could be arranged by surname and place of birth, or residence at
enlistment (at the state level), that would give various Y-chromosome
baselines for surnames. What test is run on female military personnel? Any
ideas on this? Same questions for the WTC database and the one from testing
newborns at US hospitals.

Thanks,
