Yes, and? I don't see the significance of the testing medium here. DNA sequencing from hair or blood or saliva will yield identical results.
- aarongolliver 10y agoThey're saying the testing medium itself made the test appear less scientific/accurate (to them) than it actually is. Perhaps if it had been a hair sample it would have appeared more scientific (again, to them).
- Kequc 10y agoYes that's right.
- SEJeff 10y agoYup and in both sources, it will be multiplied first via polymerase chain reaction, and then analyzed / sequenced.
