DNA Identification provides a permanent means of conclusively identifying a person. Photos, footprints, and fingerprints can change over time, but an individuals DNA profile remains unchanged. Obtaining a profile now can give families members the peace-of- mind of knowing they can be positively identified under any circumstances.
Who should consider having a DNA Identification Profile?
• Persons whose work environment
poses increased exposure or risk.
• Families who want a method to identify members under any circumstances.
• People who want a method to evaluate kinship as part of their estate
planning.
DNA Identification is widely used by law enforcement and has been standardized for use in the FBI's national DNA database-CODIS. Since January 2002, DNA profiles from missing persons have been included in this data base. The U.S. Army started a genetic depository in 1992 that will eventually include the DNA of every American in uniform.
DNA is also used to identify missing children. For example, in December of 1993 a two-year old was returned to his parents two years after being kidnapped - only after police established scientifically who the child was by using "genetic fingerprinting." A DNA profile is highly recommended by the U.S. Departments of Law Enforcement to protect individuals in the event of abduction or kidnapping. .
The Sample Collection
Process
The process is simple. A DNA sample is collected using a cheek or buccal swab. Genelex will provide a home collection kit or, if a legal test is required, arrange for the collection at one of our worldwide collection centers. (With legal testing photographs are taken and a proper chain of custody is kept in case the records are ever needed for legal reasons such as paternity establishment.) The sample is then forwarded to our fully accredited DNA laboratory. Once the sample is received, it is processed according to FBI compatible standards.
Reports and Records
Once profiling is completed, a notarized document with the DNA profile is sent to all tested persons and/or their duly designated representatives. Most people file this important paperwork with birth certificates and other important legal documents. Genelex also keeps secure electronic records of the DNA profiles that can be transmitted directly to other laboratories for comparison purposes. They may also be used for parentage testing.
