  1. I thought they did a decent job of explaining the DNA issue at least as matching goes. I think of it is a a funnel, where they had 16 Y-STR markers, which indicated 30M people (I'm making up the #s), then with 25 the funnel narrowed to 10M people, and the person mentioned was excluded. You ultimately narrow the funnel with additional markers, which leads to one person. What I do not understand is the difference among samples - not a biologist but I thought on the DNA / cellular level saliva, semen, blood, skin cells, etc., carried full DNA profiles. Said more simply, in my ignorant mind if you had DNA you "had it all," i.e. a complete profile. I get technology has improved to be able to get better results from smaller samples, but the analysis being done with touch DNA is mind-blowing. Hoping for a surly biologist to explain it to me. There was a cold case recently cracked in Fort Worth, where they were able to use a tiny amount of DNA on the victim's bra and dress to find a match. It is crazy that in 30 years no one has ever confessed to someone while drunk, stoned, etc., or could just keep it in without telling someone.
  2. Agreed. Good summary but left with - "have DNA but don't know whose it is."
  3. Has Joe shut down the virus like he promised or have more people died from Rona since he assumed office?

  7. I'm kind of with you. I don't hate them but pretending to hate them is fun.
  8. But it has real-world implications. Gone are the days when I could look forward to flipping through the Victoria's Secret catalog.
