Had any of you thought of #2 before? It seems fairly obvious to someone actually working on trying to identify unknown DNA, but it's not something I'd specifically heard of or thought about much before.

The funny thing is that the above tweets were actually inspired by a mention of using DNA to identify a suspect (the story in the news today), but I had no idea at the time that they had used relative data.

In fact, the first reports that they used this kind of data came out 8 hours ago, but my tweet was almost 24 hours ago. I totally anticipated this news.

Yeah they did the first to catch a black serial killler that the profilers said was white. https://www.google.com.au/amp/s/www.wired.com/2007/12/ps-dna/amp … Also the Grim Sleeper with his sons DNA. They don't use 23&me not sure they are allowed but they do use familial matches in the law enforcement DNA data bases.

They also do mass DNA screenings when they a geographical profile they did that in a town near me.https://www.google.com.au/amp/s/www.wired.com/2000/04/dna-testing-furor-in-wee-waa/amp …

The courts & future administrations will likely ban this sort of thing because disparate impact on the usual suspects... victims & innocents be damned.

Police already mostly don't use the racial one becuse disprate impact bullshit in the US. A lot of geneticists lie about not being able to tell race too I suspect. Wouldn't the argument against racial DNA profiling also be used against sex DNA profiling? Also privacy cultists
