           COMMENTARY:  As late as 2008, Nasidze was still publishing only short haplotypes,
           has not released some of his data in a timely manner, and only tests for very basic
           haplogroups when it is now known that only subgroup testing can provide meaningful
           info.  It is disappointing that the potential for so much additional info from a poorly sampled
           area of the world has been squandered]
