Measuring Close and Distant Genetic Relationships
From early methods like blood group analysis to modern approaches using massively parallel sequencing, scientists have developed quantitative techniques to measure genetic relationships.
Let's Talk Databases
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...
What’s in a Label? Understanding Biogeographical Ancestry
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.
How Multi-Dimensional Forensic Intelligence (MDFI) Will Revolutionize Forensic Genealogy
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...
Refining Genetic Connections in MDFI using the Segment Comparison and Triangulation Tools
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.
