    It's a trick GJ. By definition the other 90% are too.

    There is some statistic around that 10% of fathers are the biological parent of their child.

    Though I do like that Ginger hair.

    no he didn't sequence but he did a fair part of it.
    Sorry, didn't mean to take away from the innovative of what he did with the centrifuge and heating bit, just was trying to highlight the real number crunching tech that's outside most people's reach.

    Top job though - I hope he gets snapped up by a tech corp for initiative.

    To identify my brother's mutation I opted for sequencing which I couldn't do at home so I had to send the sample to a lab.

    started a topic that was desperate but he was a Ginger

    that was desperate but he was a Ginger

    Teenager astounds scientists by building a DNA testing machine in his bedroom - and he did it to discover why his brother is ginger | Mail Online

    Fred Turner, 17, from Yorkshire built a DNA testing machine in his bedroom
    Built the polymerase chain reaction machine from items he found at home
    Wanted to see if his brother had the mutated gene that causes ginger hair
    Experiment was a success and proved why his brother is ginger and he isn't
    Fred was named the UK's Young Engineer of the Year for his design
    I'm impressed.
