I'm still a little skeptical. It's a little too good to be true. A scan of
the entire genome could mean a scan of markers spread over the entire
genome. And the million variations could be the millions of combinations of
the markers. Maybe just slick marketing lingo.

Still like you I find it tantalizing.
