It gets even worse. The way "DNA matches" occur in the judicial system is by looking at a set of SNPs, not whole genome comparisons (obviously). So all you need to do it is take the SNP set, the leaked SNP set, synthesize oligos matching the person you want to frame, then sprinkle the oligo collection at the crime scene...Guess what shows up in the PCR? You do.
- jghn 8y agoI thought STRs were used for DNA fingerprinting? Has that changed with the advent of cheap SNP chips?
- shubb 8y agoLooking at the 'rapid DNA machines' on the market, looks like it is still STR. Someone should sell them on the idea that they can use SNP to generate an approximate photofit
- Tepix 8y agoI don't understand a thing. Where can I learn more about this threat?
- DrAwdeOccarim 8y agoHmm, learn about polymerase chain reaction first then learn about DNA synthesis. That should get you close.
