Summary:	[...]Bruce Weir provides a commentary on the contribution of the two research articles from Braun et al. [...]it will be some time before forensic scientists abandon the use of 13-20 microsatellite markers in favor of the very large numbers of SNPs considered by Braun et al. and by Visscher and Hill, largely because of the investment in very large offender databases.
