interval is applied. Id. If the matching sequence derived from the mtDNA analysis is not found in the FBI database, an exclusionary rate is calculated to say that "X” percent of the population may be excluded as potential donors of the unknown sample. Id. In 2002, the FBI's mtDNA Population Database contained more than 4800 sequences. See mtDNA Population Database 1.2 Release Notes, available at www.fbi.gov/hq/lab/fsc/backissu/april2002/mtDNAreleasenotes.pdf. 10 . See State v. Council, 335 S.C. 1, 515 S.E.2d 508, 518 (1999) (concluding trial judge was within his discretion in admitting the mtDNA analysis because the evidence was of assistance of the jury, expert witness was qualified, and underlying science was reliable); State v. Underwood, 134 N.C.App. 533, 518 S.E.2d 231, 240 (1999) (<HOLDING>); State v. Scott, 33 S.W.3d 746, 756
