Molecular Etches: A Breakthrough in Quality Control for Forensic SNP Testing

Forensic SNP testing has long relied on molecular tags for tracking and error detection, but these tags have their limitations. Enter molecular etches—an innovative solution that uses synthetic oligonucleotides as an internal molecular information management system. Molecular etches not only track samples with unparalleled accuracy but also detect contamination, reduce errors, and enhance overall quality control in massively parallel sequencing (MPS).

In this webinar, Dr. Bruce Budowle, co-author of a groundbreaking paper published in Forensic Science International: Genetics, explains how molecular etches work, why they matter, and how they can transform forensic SNP testing and genetic genealogy. Discover how this novel approach makes forensic analyses more reliable, secure, and efficient—offering a new standard for forensic investigations.
