When you have to resort to DNA analysis in order to make a body identification, often the samples available for testing are sub-optimal. At Genelex, our years of painstaking experience obtaining DNA from deceased individuals, have led us to develop specific methods that greatly enhance our chances of recovering DNA.
We've demonstrated this ability with bone, decomposed tissues, a variety of body fluid stains and chemically preserved funerary or archived specimens. Some of the advantages of using Genelex for these cases include:
•Dual Medical Laboratory and Paternity Accreditations for DNA testing ensure that the appropriate methods and interpretations are made in all cases.
• The availability of more than thirty generally accepted polymorphic STR and RFLP DNA markers ensure a dispostive report in virtually every case. The ability to test to this extent greatly reduces the chance that results will be challenged.
• Specialized, accepted paternity and kinship analysis software written especially for these cases ensures the acceptability of population databases and statistical interpretations.
•Years of experience working with these cases allows us to work efficiently and effectively with professionals and sympathetically with family members.
So the next time you have a mother or family members seeking a paternity test, an identification case that requires DNA or a complex "reverse paternity" involving relatives of the descendent please consider using our services.
