SNP (single nucleotide polymorphisms)
This represents the new testing as outlined in the videos in this week’s assignment. “23 and me”, Ancestry, and all others use it now for testing for many different qualities of you as a person. Would you use these services? Why or why not?
Increasing SNP Typing
The number of DNA cases submitted to labs have radically increased over recent years. Do you think SNP testing might increase as well? Why?
Any cases using SNP typing?
Check out any search engine; can you find any criminal or non-criminal cases that have used this type of fingerprinting (I use that term loosely)
