Larry, We don't yet know the answer to the question as there is a marker (S668) on Chromo2 that may be directly equivalent to DF97. The only way we will resolve it is if people test Chromo2 and are also DF97+. >From the point of view of the M222 diagram I'm maintaining I would personally want to be very sure the two markers in question are equivalent before I merge the two sub-branches if only because it would be a right pain to have to de-merge them later. And that needs lots of people to test.

From what I've gathered from the list (and I haven't been following terribly closely the past few weeks as fatigue has set in), Chromo2 doesn't test DF97. Is there much value in going ahead with the DF97, or should I just wait to see what the Chromo2 test tells us?
