So it is too exspensive? Is that what you are telling me? Well yes that sounds like a challange. However they always find a way to mass produce things. I am sure they will find an affordable way soon. Unlike the now suffering meat market.
The study of mutations isn't prompted by law enforcement, there's not enough need to research it for that purpose as it's such a rarity that it would be used for that. It's just one of those studies to hopefully understand it-twins, genetics, etc, and if it happens to become a viable tool for law enforcement, that's a bonus. There's just not enough twin conspiracy crime that can't be solved by the old detective stand-bys. It would have to be one HELL of a well conspired crime, and a serious enough crime to even think to go to this study to determine a suspect.
From what I understand, as of now it's just studying twins in general, if it happens to be made practical then certainly law enforcement would use it if the need arises. Just like regular DNA testing, I'm sure it will advance!!
Yes, it's expensive, and more so than expensive but such an exhausting study. If you're looking at 100-200 mutations in billions of strands of DNA, it's just pardon the expression-you're looking for a needle in a haystack. PLUS, comparing it to the known DNA. It's no easy undertaking.
Depending on where the DNA came form (tissue.blood,etc) mutations will not compare as if you were comparing 2 of the same tissue or fluid samples.
If convicting a twin how do you go about it?

It has a long way to go.
