DNAPrint Genomics EuroDNA(TM) Test Used as Basis for Reality Show on British Television
Times of London Obtains Results From Program, Publishes Article Speculating Former British Prime Minister Thatcher May Have Midd

SARASOTA, FL -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 11/08/06 -- DNAPrint Genomics, Inc. (OTCBB: DNAG) today announced that the Company's EuroDNA(TM) product has been employed as an integral part of the British television reality program, "100% English," and that a recent episode of the program has prompted speculation that Dame Margaret Thatcher, Baroness of Kesteven and former Prime Minister of Great Britain, may have Middle Eastern DNA, according to an Oct. 29 article in The Times of London.

The speculation is based on tests administered to Mrs. Thatcher's daughter, Carol Thatcher, who was tested as part of the television program. It was found that Ms. Thatcher's DNA was 24% Middle Eastern in origin, with the remaining 76% listed as Northwestern European. This led to the speculation that either her mother or her father, the late Denis Thatcher, may have Middle Eastern roots, the article said.

The finding has raised the possibility that Mrs. Thatcher may be descended from a Bedouin tribe, or that her origins may date to the desert farmers of ancient Mesopotamia, which centuries ago covered all of Iraq and large portions of contemporary Turkey, Syria and Iran, according to the Times article, which also dubbed Mrs. Thatcher as "The Queen of the Desert" on the basis of her daughter's test results.

According to the article, Ms. Thatcher stated, "Do I know if any of my great-grandfathers had any associations or came from the Middle East? I haven't got a clue. I will do what research I can. I am now very curious."

To date, tests have not been conducted on Mrs. Thatcher, nor had they been conducted on her late husband Denis while he was alive, so it is unknown whether Ms. Thatcher inherited her traits from her mother or father, according to the Times article.

"100% British" is a reality program in Great Britain that takes eight celebrities who believe that they are truly 100% British and then confronts them with the reality of their origins by showing them the results of DNA tests that were conducted using DNAPrint's EuroDNA(TM) product.

EuroDNA(TM) is administered in combination with AncestryByDNA(TM) that specifically measures "European" sub-ancestry, a type of ancestry shared by people who derived from the fertile crescent of the Middle East some 50,000 years ago and spread to occupy Europe, the Middle East, parts of Eurasia and South Asia. EuroDNA(TM) breaks the European ancestry into four groups and reports percentages for each: Northwestern European, Southeastern European, Middle Eastern and South Asian.

"We are flattered that this British television program should choose DNAPrint's EuroDNA(TM) product as the basis for the program and for the determination of Carol Thatcher's ancestry," stated DNAPrint President and Chief Executive Officer Richard Gabriel. "This is a testament to the confidence in the product and the precise results that EuroDNA(TM) yields."

Mr. Gabriel continued, "We encourage everyone to have their DNA tested, either with EuroDNA(TM) or AncestryByDNA(TM)."
