Continuing Legacy Data Capabilities


For decades, investigators have collected DNA items never used to solve a crime. The laboratory processed degraded or mixed samples, but couldn't interpret their complex data. This is the “legacy data” of failed DNA analysis, with unused evidence in hundreds of thousands of cases. Legacy data failure has blocked DNA evidence, frozen cases, thwarted due process of law, and locked innocent people behind bars. But Cybergenetics' powerful pioneering TrueAllele® technology changes the game.

Unlike failed government genotyping software, proprietary TrueAllele actively unlocks legacy DNA. The computer extracts informative and reliable genetic identity from traditionally “inconclusive” samples. TrueAllele can revive old forensic data—regardless of laboratory, chemistry or sequencer—with modern mathematical precision. Using TrueAllele, society solves cold cases, identifies criminals, reopens investigations, and frees the innocent.
