Ken,

This is very much a 'weights and measures' issue. I think that every
last STR sold should have a link to the primer set being used and
every new SNP should have its exact location on the y-chromosome
disclosed and its extended STR profile published.

But why get anyone else involved? We, as the customer, could just ask
for these things? No?
