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
Forensic DNA Analysis
Our casework laboratories deliver high-quality analyses to our clients at the federal, state, and local levels. On-time. Every time.
Case and Data Review
Meet with us and walk our experts through the details of your case. We’ll help you uncover the best, most cost-effective evidence testing plan.
Expert Witness Testimony
