In January 2024, Othram announced the integration of the FamilyTreeDNA (FTDNA) database into our Multi-Dimensional Forensic Intelligence (MDFI) platform, bringing new capabilities to forensic genetic genealogy. Join us for a walkthrough of this enhanced platform and discover powerful features designed to accelerate forensic intelligence and solve cases more efficiently. Whether...
Every detail matters and any detail could be a clue so when you use advanced DNA tools such as biogeographical ancestry analysis, you should expect, and in fact demand, a complete genomic analysis, without shortcuts.
Join us for an introduction to the Multi-Dimensional Forensic Intelligence (MDFI) platform. More than just forensic genetic genealogy (FGG), MDFI integrates cutting-edge SNP profile development, advanced database algorithms, and seamless collaboration with stakeholders to simplify and speed up forensic casework resolution. We discuss Othram’s unique approach to solving forensic...
The new MDFI Triangulation tool helps confirm that shared DNA segments between three or more individuals are inherited from a common ancestor, providing stronger evidence of true genetic relationships.
Call rate is an indicator of data quality for microarrays but doesn't mean much for DNA sequencing, and since microarrays are wrong for forensics samples, we need to move past call rates and agree on better quality metrics.
Comparisons between anthropological and genomic ancestry assignments for UHRs reveals significant discordance, shedding light on the challenges in determining population affinity, particularly for admixed populations.
