Uh huh you just said that as part of your goal post moving. Literally none of your posts before that have referenced SNPs.

I literally just said I wasn't making an assertion either way
I literally just spoke against people talking about poo poo they don't understand

if you want my incomplete layperson's understanding, I can tell you that sections of a human genome are repeated, and the number of repeats varies enough between individuals that measuring them can match a DNA sample to an individual. I can tell you the federal government maintains a database of these counts, called CODIS, collected by state and federal law enforcement agencies (and not centrally tied to personally identifying information because that is illegal), that they can use to match DNA samples to known criminals

I can tell you that single nucleotide polymorphism is based on one discrete part of the human genome, a "single nucleotide", which varies between individuals and populations and that this variance is used to identify whether a given variant is tied to a genetic disease or trait. and I can tell you that 23andme uses this information, and not copy-number variation, to get its results

this is why I asked the completely reasonable question of why the government would be collecting single nucleotide polymorphisms for their database of short tandem repeats

it is really loving cute that the only way you can frame me wanting you to know what you're talking about is that I'm part of a conspiracy

I didn't even say your concerns are not legitimate, I JUST want you to frame them as concerns instead of fact, and you can't even do that. instead you're challenging me to DISPROVE what, again, is just a thought that you had.

I was maybe seven or eight years old at the time, and my mom was weaning me off of breast feeding.

i sent my spit sample this morning in the mail and it should be at the lab for processing by the end of the week. I could have been onto step 2 by now but USPS lost my first sample that I sent like 3 weeks ago. I'm fully expecting to see some results by like December because based on what the official website and reddit says. I'd be more peeved by this, but because I was sadbrains in highschool I got the $200 kit for free by going through their research program. At the very least I wanna see if im anything else other than full hispanic. my lineage gets really murky once I get to the relatives that crossed US-MX border back in 1900. grandparents on both sides of my family mention native american blood but I really doubt it tbh. we'll see though!

so who else is in on this? were you impressed? did you find out that you're some other ethnicity or that you have a history of wet butt disease or something?

Police can legally use 23andMe, other ancestry tools to obtain your DNA

WJAX reports companies such as 23andMe and Ancestry would be willing to give police access to your DNA if they have a warrant.

Even more, police could also obtain DNA from a family member to make a "familial match."

lol, you just made it easier for the police to frame you.

This legit makes me miss my mom. She had Hirsutism. My dad used to call her his little wolf mama. One of my most vivid childhood memories is of my mother's hairiness. I was maybe seven or eight years old at the time, and my mom was weaning me off of breast feeding. My mom was a straight four on the Ferriman–Gallwey scale when she wasn't depilating, and she'd gotten pretty spotty about it since I wasn't suckling so often. I remember grabbing handfuls of her chest hair to keep myself in place, and no matter what I did, I kept getting hair in my mouth. I'm pretty sure that's why I feel compelled to nuzzle and chew on the woman's hair whenever I'm in a relationship. It's caused a few fights, because I just can't get into sex without a mouthful of my partner's hair.

I miss you, mom

My dad was adopted and has no info about his birth family so I think it might be interesting to see what kind of hits this gives me. How useful is this actually for finding relatives? Obviously depends on who has submitted their DNA to the database, but are you guys getting a ton of hits for like second and third cousins?
