If the other Rhodeses and Roths also upgrade to 67, you can all get
a more precise (or, rather, less imprecise) estimate of the genetic
distance separating you. However, if you have already determined on
the basis of 37 markers that one line or another is or is not related,
you are unlikely to get a different answer from 67 markers.
