Degradation Index (DI) has long been a metric for traditional forensic DNA analysis, offering insights into the quality of a sample for STR profiling. But does DI hold the same value for SNP testing and modern DNA sequencing? In this webinar, we explore why DI is irrelevant for SNP testing...
We need to strengthen four pillars of FGG—ultra-sensitive DNA profiles, enhanced search capabilities, automated database tools, and public participation—to realize the full potential and truly democratize this technology.
Learn how forensic genetic genealogy brought justice to 17-year-old Carla Walker, who was tragically abducted and murdered in 1974. After 46 years, her case was solved in 2020 thanks to groundbreaking advancements in forensic DNA technology. In this webinar, Michael Vogen, Othram’s Director of Account Management, takes you behind...
To fully realize the promise of forensic genetic genealogy, it is essential to enable FGG for all, so it can be used equitably to identify suspects, name the unidentified, and exonerate the wrongfully accused.
We have developed a first-of-its-kind molecular forensic information system that can encode detailed sample information, improving workflow history, tracking, contamination detection, & authenticity verification.
While autosomal SNP markers are central to forensic genetic genealogy, mtDNA and Y-DNA markers offer valuable lineage-specific insights, at no additional cost, that enhance and accelerate forensic investigations.
