Heliyon Journal
In March 2026, Cybergenetics published their breakthrough Heliyon paper, “The reliability and reporting of DNA match strength for uncertain genotype evidence.” Highlights of the open-access article include:
- Why TrueAllele can always report results, no matter how complex the DNA
- A new and powerful way to measure genotype DNA match accuracy
- How TrueAllele uses all the DNA data to get all the identification information
- Why inclusion and exclusion answers are two sides of the same DNA coin
- How to validate DNA methods without using “ground truth” samples
The paper’s new match accuracy method uses genotype outputs, instead of software inputs. This novel idea shifts probabilistic genotyping discussion away from “who is right” opinion to objective “match outcome accuracy.” A genotype’s match accuracy can be determined before it is ever compared with a reference profile.
