Forensic Genetic Genealogy

No Match in CODIS?
Consider this Next Step.

Forensic genetic genealogy (FGG) is a different approach to develop investigative leads for your cold case or active case that has not returned a DNA match in the CODIS database. FGG uses advanced DNA workflows to generate a SNP profile for upload to public genetic genealogy database(s) authorized for law enforcement use to search for familial links. MORE
