This is a normal post What? You could be someone else with a bit of their spit and a silicone glove.
And hair doesn't contain DNA.

This is a normal post If you tried that it would be flagged as a Plurality
I agree about the hair though

This is a normal post Not if you tie them up in their flat so there's no dual readings.

This is a normal post That was good, but... don't identical twins have the same DNA?

This is a normal post Probably and DNA is repeated in something like 1:1,000,000 people or something don't know the exact figure.

This is a normal post I also liked some of the references.
One of the few uses of my - otherwise pointless - humanities degree.

This is a normal post Error rate of 0.001%
That's an error once every 100,000 times used, or 82 times a day if they're assuming the population of new york is still 8.2mil, and they all use it once per day.

This is a normal post It's a little bit more complicated than that....
There is a small but finite chance that two (unrelated) people will share a DNA profile, which is not quite the same as sharing DNA. As it currently stands, a DNA profile samples only a very small number of points in the genome. As such, the exact probability depends on the specific test used.

The current UK forensic standard test (SGM plus) only looks at 11 points in the genome. Even so, the chance of two people sharing a profile on this system is 1:1,000,000,000.

If you sequenced the entire genome to generate the profile, then the chance of two people sharing a DNA profile is, to all intents and purposes, 0.

The film didn't seem to give any details about how the genetic test was done

Interestingly, if you used a whole genome profile, you would almost certainly be able to distinguish between identical twins as well. It has been estimated that each pair of identical twins carry about 400 mutations that occur after separation, but early enough in development that they are detectable in the adult.

Lovely film, thanks for sharing.

This is a normal post That was really rather good - thanks for sharing that.
Still don't like Apple products, though... that iPane looks like they continue to slavishly follow "form first" in TEH FUTUR!

This is a normal post I hope that becomes a full on series...
A sort of Minority report/Fringe hybrid. Looks very polished.
