Hey Ann,

I may have this actual article in print form. I have many years of the
AJP and I think that I might have all or most of the 2002 issues. I've
just got to find the box that I've stored them in to see if I've got
that particular issue.

If I have it, then I can scan it and send some JPEGs to you.

Hi, Dale, I'm new here at rootsweb (been lurking for a year plus). I am very interested in knowing the range of values for these chimpanzee STRs from the 2002 study. I only know that the values for DYS439 were extremely similar to human DYS439. Were you able to find the issue that dealt with it?

PS: I apologize if this message comes out garbled. I still don't have the hang of this email list thing.
