Sending Cases for
TrueAllele Processing
Cybergenetics offers TrueAllele® Casework DNA interpretation services. TrueAllele can find forensic identification information when other methods fail. An initial free screening is available.
Cybergenetics compares DNA evidence data to produce match statistics. Larger match numbers (say, a million) connect evidence, while smaller numbers (say, one in a million) show no connection.
TrueAllele processing begins with a crime lab’s electronic data (.fsa or .hid files). To process a case, we need all the data files (evidence items, reference samples, allelic ladders, and laboratory controls).
Please complete a case submission form, following the provided instructions. We use this form to start TrueAllele processing.
Please download and complete the form in a program such as Adobe Acrobat Reader or Preview. Opening the PDF in your browser window may not save your form information. Be sure to complete the entire form, including the “Items” section on page 3. Enclose the electronic form with your case submission.
Data and information can be emailed to data@cybgen.com, or transferred via Dropbox or CD/DVD. Physical materials can be shipped to our office at the address below.
