One thing I should note is that SMGF uses the forsenic method of counting matches. This means that they only count multistep markers (385, 359, CDY, 464) as one. Thus, they show only 37 markers, whereas the normal commercial count is 43. The match count needs to be adjusted for comparison, by adding 1 for each of the first 3 and 3 for 464 to the number of matches and the total number of markers.
