Russian term or phrase: сравнение по шести (десяти и т.п.) точкам
Hello everyone,

This is just a random bit of genetics I've encountered in a general-interest article I'm translating:

Исследователи проводили сравнение образцов ДНК по шести точкам, однако последующее сравнение по десяти и шестнадцати точкам подтвердило, что анализ по шести точкам часто дает ошибочные выводы.

I really appreciate your help! Thank you very much in advance!
