Given that we get this working, it should provide a basis for further experiments. As far as I understand it, it is possible to apply this sort of technique, with appropriate primers, to do detection of SNPs [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-nucleotide_polymorphism] opening up the possibility of testing for something common like [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RHD_%28gene%29 RHD] or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melanocortin_1_receptor MC1R] alleles, and perhaps providing a resource for people who want to genetically test themselves for rarer things a la Katherine Aull (but it is much simpler and cheaper to get such tests run commercially, and there is a difficult ethical case to answer about providing genetic testing without proper expert medical support and interpretation of results). | Given that we get this working, it should provide a basis for further experiments.
