The experts pointed out the error signifies no DNA link can exist between Kosminski and Eddowes

I don’t see how this can indicate that "no DNA link can exist," even if this test is in error. It would only indicate that this specific link is invalid. Also, this error only pertains to whether or not Eddowes’ DNA was on the shawl, right? It says nothing about Kosminski and whether or not his DNA is on the shawl. Was the same error made with regard to his DNA?

The scientist indicated that the DNA contained the alteration “known as global private mutation (314.1C), not very common in worldwide population,” and then Louhelainen concluded the DNA was Karen Miller’s, one of Catherine Eddowes’s female descendants. However, there has allegedly been an “error of nomenclature,” specialists say, as the mutation in question should be noted as "315.1C" and not "314.1C." "315.1C" is not a rare mutation, and is shared by 99 per cent of ethnic Europeans.

I don’t know anything technical about DNA. How can something that is in 99% of Europeans be classified as a "mutation?"

Basically the strand, 314.1c, only 1% of the population had it and this was what they based their findings on. Jari had incorrectly identified 315.1c as 314,1c. The problem is 315.1c (the strand he used) was actually present in 99% of the population. :lol:

So this new paper published this year is based on that same 2014 evidence that was debated then? I thought there was something new in this one.
