David; Have you startd your company yet? With only 20 base pairs what about aliasing(same short sequence being common to several larger proteins). Of course you would like to pick a unique sequence. Would this make simple finding a perpetrators single cell in a finger pring smudge that was insufficient for regular matching and you had other evidence pointing to that person and needed confirmation? I imagine standard PCR would work on that. There was a recent murder in Toronto where the perps left bloody finger prints at the scene. Just smudges with no print data, but it could be used by your method? or would PCR work best. The assumption is that the bllod would have removed traces of perp DNA from their fingers? They have the victims blood to make a blank from so they can multiply whatever they find in the print until they find another persons DNA there. They have the perps but need confirmatory evidence. Interesting concept. Bill
