Pittsburgh, PA

Validation studies are performed to establish the reliability of scientific methods before they are used in court. TrueAllele® Databank was the first expert system for automating the interpretation of DNA reference samples. The New York State Police conducted a developmental validation that established TrueAllele's reliability, and its speed and accuracy advantages over human review. Their validation paper was published in the Journal of Forensic Sciences.
