    Let's see the science and then we'll talk.

    I'd be interested in seeing if they're comparing just a segment of DNA (like in one particular chromosome) or if they're doing a complete haplotype comparison.

    If it's a complete haplotype comparison then, yes, the case is closed so long as they release the results for independent analysis.
