What's your opinion on partial DNA profiles?

  • I suppose it depends on what use they have - say in forming a medical diagnosis of a genetic condition - one might only need part of the genome.
    Otherwise, I would imagine that for most purposes the whole DNA profile would be necessary.

    My thoughts exactly!  In fact, I met my wife while attempting to spread my own DNA.

    What does that have to do with this question?  This is about partial, not spreading.

    Very good, Hart.   I was watching a crime show and they were arguing the uselessness of a partial DNA profile.  But the medical diagnosis idea does fly.
