Re: My craziest thought ever
I was thinking this not long ago too!
My chain of thought was brough on after reading that there was a 1 in 6.5 billion chance of a false positive in DNA crime scene matching. So, I took that to mean that there are 6.5bn different permutations of DNA - is that correct, and if so, what would someone with my identical DNA look like?
Obviously environmental and upbringing would have a lot to do with it, but would this person look like me? There's around 6bn people on earth just now, so it's not unlikely there's a few matches for me, or others.
Thoughts?
