When you need to contact Cybergenetics for a DNA reassessment

Crime labs can get the wrong DNA answer. Following their protocols, some labs won’t test small amounts of DNA. Or won’t interpret mixtures containing more than several contributors. Other labs use DNA interpretation software whose threshold parameters discard crucial DNA data. The result can be an inaccurate match statistic, or unreported DNA evidence.

The pioneering TrueAllele technology gives an accurate unbiased answer to hard DNA questions. Our advanced math means no thresholds, just using all the data all the time. Multi-level modeling accounts for all relevant variables, without needing calibration. TrueAllele corrects the interpretation mistakes that other DNA programs make.

Contact Cybergenetics for free TrueAllele screening when a crime lab:

1. Reports DNA evidence as “uninterpretable”, “uninformative”, draws “no conclusions”, or calls the data “too complex”.
2. Says there is “insufficient DNA”, “too many contributors”, or that “no comparison can be made”.
3. Uses limited FBI PopStats software for inaccurate DNA mixture interpretation.
4. Applies peak height thresholds to their DNA data, discarding probative evidence.
5. Runs limited probabilistic genotyping software (e.g., STRmix, LRmix, EuroForMix) to get small DNA match numbers, “inconclusive” results, or no result at all.
6. Cannot process DNA data from older, unfamiliar, or multiple STR kits.

In over a thousand criminal and civil cases, Cybergenetics’ better TrueAllele science has overcome these artificial limitations.
