Cybergenetics providing criminal justice services for DNA evidence during COVID-19 pandemic

Pittsburgh, PA

Computers can continue to interpret complex DNA evidence, even when human activities are disrupted. Cybergenetics is open during the coronavirus shutdown – receiving DNA data, inferring genotypes, reporting match statistics, and preparing for court.

TrueAllele® probabilistic genotyping –
• Automation inputs all the DNA data, without applying human thresholds.
• Thoroughness ensures consideration of all genotype possibilities.
• Accuracy delivers the correct likelihood ratio, based on the evidence.
• Objectivity eliminates human decisions that can affect the match result.
• Neutrality can statistically include or exclude suspects, depending only on the data.
• Error assessment enables reporting of all DNA information, without arbitrary cutoffs.
• Databases connect crime scene to crime scene to solve unsolved crimes.

  Prosecutors and defenders alike rely on TrueAllele technology for a closer look at DNA mixtures, and low-level or degraded evidence. Police investigators and innocence groups depend on TrueAllele for greater DNA scrutiny that can implicate or exonerate.

  Crime laboratories use TrueAllele in-house and send cases to Cybergenetics when they need more identification information. TrueAllele routinely transcends the artificial limits of human-restricted DNA interpretation.

  While other activities have been suspended, now is a good time to get a second opinion that can answer your DNA questions. Know the answer™. Send your DNA data to Cybergenetics today for better justice through science®.

  We hope that you, and everyone you care about, stays safe and well during these trying times.
