scientists create a database of known DNA sequences from random samples of volunteers and determine how often any one particular sequence appears. Adams v. State, 794 So.2d 1049, 1061 (Miss.App.2001). This provides them with an idea as to how rarely or how frequently one would expect to see that sequence. Id. If there is a match, the matching sequence is then compared to profiles in the database to determine whether the sequence appears in the database. Magaletti v. State, 847 So.2d 523, 527 (Fla.Dist.Ct.App.2003). Because mtDNA is maternally inherited and because all matrilineal decedents will share the same mtDNA, the traditional random match probability used in nuclear DNA analysis cannot be calculated. Id. Instead, the counting method is used, and a ninety-five percent confidenc (<HOLDING>); Adams v. State, 794 So.2d 1049, 1064
holding improperly admitted testimony was cumulative to the other properly admitted evidence and was therefore harmless holding use of mtdna analysis to prove identity satisfied frye test for admissibility of new or novel scientific evidence holding trial court properly admitted evidence of mtdna analysis without first holding a hearing to establish reliability holding that failure to object to properly admitted evidence was not deficient performance by trial counsel holding mtdna testing sufficiently reliable to warrant its admissibility into evidence
