DNA RADAR™: Innovations in Human Identification Using NGS

DNA RADAR™ is an innovative and proprietary NGS platform that provides a complete human identification solution including CODIS and ENFSI markers; phenotype markers for blood type, hair and eye color, ancestry; and prediction of SURNAME.

DNA RADAR™ was born from the need of the Combating Terrorism Technical Support Office (CTTSO) for a highly sensitive single assay that could provide information that could augment human identification from biological samples. Specifically, they asked if the standard CODIS and ENFSI markers could be combined be combined with phenotype and ancestry markers in a highly sensitive NGS assay but with an added twist. Could the technology platform also reveal the surnames associated with the sample?
