Very interesting. All 13 locus parameters are required to pick an individual out of a large population. But in this case, we're picking one player out of a population of less than 50. Would the less than 13 locus parameters be enough for a unique match in a limited population?

I'm not sure exactly what each marker designates so I'm using my own (sometimes ridiculous) logic.

What we're not getting is what markers are hits and what "should be" hits to make this unique to the boys. Each marker has to have some type of definition, yes??

Fair question....except for "unique match". SBI called it what it is, so NIFONG had to go "Doctor shopping". The standards the FBI uses assured he wouldn't shop his purported evidence to them!

Semantics.......for all we know, rhe "tissue" on the nail might actually be a bit of kleenex or bunwad this kid blew his nose into, and tossed it into the waste-basket where it adhered to the nail, LOL.
