Ray,

According to what somebody at DNAPrint told me on the phone about two weeks
ago, they have a paper right now "waiting to be published." This guy seemed
to be in a hurry, but I asked him what stage of "waiting" was it in. He
seemed to not realize what I meant. I asked if it had been approved for
publication, was in the editing process, or was still in the review process.
The guy said it was in the review process.

So, from this, it is possible that it is in peer review now. I'll try to
find out from somebody else at DNAPrint who is not so much in a hurry and is
more familiar with the scientific journal publishing process.
