David, What are you being so argumentative about? Pat suggested that
"extensive SNP testing" is about to begin. I was curious if she knew
something I did not.

I have gone out of my way to test for any SNP that might shed light on my
research goals, and always will; that's precisely why "I got in under the
wire" in that particular case. In the meantime I search for objective
clusters or varieties of STR haplotypes which have yet no SNP tags because
that work and discovery can proceed with or without the SNPs, though
preferably with.

Ken

> You know full well Ken that that company you tested with withdrew from any
involvement in this sort of testing after two weeks - you got in under the
wire and that is all. I really don't know what you expect considering the
present state of affairs as discussed in recent posts. Who is going to fund
these expensive searches for new SNPs. You know the money has dried up and
you seem to be expecting miracles. By the way some SNPs are not available
for commercial application as they have not been adequately described such
that primers can be designed. Do you have a suggestion as to how to get
around all these "problems"? To those who wish to complain - bring me
solutions not problems and we or some other establishment can work to bring
customers what they want - if it is feasible.
