"This is not a source of error" of what? I just today got a message from an
academic expert in the middle of the SNP business say that a lab could read
the complementary strands but as long as they knew what was what there would
be no harm in the different nucelotide reading. That makes sense; but do
all the labs know which set of strands they are measuring? In the end what
matters to us customers without our own lab is what is reported to us.

So do I believe my "T at P40" was a measurement on the same strands as
Hammer measured "A" or do I not?
