Overview

DNA is a powerful tool for forensic identification. Interpreting complex DNA evidence effectively can help criminal investigations. The process of transforming crime scene evidence into identification information has four steps:

• Preparation of biological specimens
• Extraction, amplification, and detection the DNA data
• Human expert analysis and interpretation of the DNA data
• Communication of a report to the police or court

Current human interpretation methods throw out vital identification information from the data in the third step of this transformation. The difference can mean getting a match to a perpetrator or losing a case in court. The TrueAllele^® Technology can help extract identification information and increase the power of a match.

Cybergenetics offers detailed information about the TrueAllele Technology, including the theory behind its interpretation methods and its use within the forensic community. Through publications and presentations, Cybergenetics offers the tools to thoroughly understand the science and methods behind DNA interpretation.
