Hi Debbie,
I don't want to belittle PRA testing, but, the markers that are available today are almost minuscule in comparison with what is being developed. I recently read an article on the future of genome sequencing that is suggesting a complete genome sequence in ten days! I'll see if I can find the article and provide a link.
