Apparently, this Vendor (actually it is a research lab) supposedly wants to enhance their “Single Nucleotide Polymorphism Chip” (also known as the “Snip Chip”) so that a DNA Recognition Device can be created which is portable, conduct Verification and/or Identification in less than 45 minutes, at a cost to the consumer of just $50. Current methods of analyzing DNA for identity and kinship verification can take days and cost hundreds of dollars per test; hence, they are too slow and expensive to be useful in situations demanding high-throughput, low-cost verification. PNL will investigate the feasibility of overcoming these limitations by using SNPs to form biometric signatures. SNPs, which represent the single nucleotide differences between genomes, are able to account for 90% of all human variation. The SNP chip uses fluorescent signals from a matrix of SNPs to produce, for a given subject, a unique biometric signature that provides – by orders of magnitude – more information, with greater accuracy, than short tandem repeat (STR) analysis, still the predominant technique used today, even though it was invented 10 years before the advent of modern sequencing technology.”

DUBLIN--( BUSINESS WIRE )-- Research and Markets ( http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/647385/maritime_security ) has announced the addition of Frost & Sullivan's new report " Maritime Security Market Assessment - Middle East " to their offering.
Rapid Expansion of Terminal Capacity and New Seaports to Create Growth Opportunities in the Middle East Maritime Security Market
The rapid expansion of seaports and terminals will open up opportunities for the expanded installation of security systems across the Middle East. Lengthy delays in cargo screening have resulted in the stagnation of goods in ports for several months and disrupted trade. Rapid and foolproof systems will accelerate the process of screening and detection. At the same time, rising illegal immigration and smuggling is demanding efficient border control systems at ports and entry points. Such trends are spurring the maritime security market in the Middle East.
