Now if it is indeed true that the Mars organization is using an "adhoc" database to compare new DNA samples with; that just boggles my mind.
There is an old saying; Garbage in, Garbage out....... So if the database is sourced from suspect sources, how can they realistically improve on their analysis?
So maybe their science might be the best out there, but judging soley upon what they reported as the BRT, it is very incomplete and in-accurate to say the least. That makes me question, their methodology, their commitment to accuracy, and any and all results they might come up with. |
I was curious about the Mars stuff quite some time ago. I have been there before, but didn't stomp around in their website all that much on prior occasions...mostly I looked at what tests were offered, what the reports looked like, what tests were for what, and what, in general, to expect to discover. It seemed pretty cool, all things considered.
This time, I looked up the Yorkshire Terrier and was surprised to see that included in "related breeds" to the Yorkie, along with Maltese, Havanese, and others I do not understand, was a "Greyhound" breed. Very curious...and I did not see any elaboration as to why they consider the breeds "related" either...but I suppose we are expected to trust the testing...?
