DNAPrint公司推出法医学领域使用的试剂盒

一种新型测试设计用于法医市场进行鉴别个人基因组成的比例。

这种测试叫做DNAWitness，是根据DNAPrint基因组公司(Sarasota, FL, USA)开发的技术为基础的，该公司声称这种检测是唯一具有预测功能的方法。DNAWitness法医技术分析在犯罪现场发现的DNA，并在四个可能的法医组织中提供生物地理组成的比例：撒哈拉沙漠以南的非洲、美洲本土、东亚、印欧大陆，从而缩小调查人员正在追踪与犯罪有联系的潜在疑犯名单。

试剂盒包括所有世界范围内法医实验室进行自己家系分析所需的试剂和方案。DNAPrint公司提供的保护的在线软件被用于允许调查人员解释他们的结果，将可能的疑犯DNA样本人体测量（身体的）特征与DNAPrint公司的家系数据库进行比较。这个试剂盒能够在法医实验室和大学实验室中常见的毛细管电泳设备上使用。

DNAPrint公司法医学技术协调员Zach Gaskin说：“这个试剂盒将DNAPrint公司强大的法医学检测能力直接放到了当地犯罪现场调查人员的手中。同时这还是研究人员有价值的可以节约时间节约成本的工具，因为它减少了调查人员通常在追踪过程中所犯的错误。”

Testing Kit for Forensic Market
 
A new test designed for the forensic market can identify the percentage of an individual’s genetic makeup.

Called DNAWitness, the test is based on proprietary technology developed by DNAPrint Genomics, Inc. (Sarasota, FL, USA), which states it is the only testing method available with this predictive capability. DNAWitness forensic technology analyzes DNA recovered at a crime scene and provides the percentage of bio-geographical (BGA) makeup among four possible genetic groups: Sub-Saharan Africa, Native-American, East Asian, and Indo-European, thereby narrowing the list of potential suspects that investigators are seeking in connection with a crime.

The kit contains all of the reagents and protocols required for forensic laboratories around the world to perform their own ancestry analysis. Proprietary online software provided by DNAPrint is expected to enable investigators to interpret their results and relate them to the likely anthropometric (physical) features of a would-be suspect by referencing DNA samples to DNAPrint’s ancestry databases. The kit can be utilized on capillary eletrophoresis (CE) instruments commonly found in forensic and university laboratories.

“This kit puts the power of DNAPrnt’s forensic technology directly into the hands of local crime-scene investigators,” stated Zach Gaskin, technical coordinator of forensics at DNAPrint. “It is also a valuable time- and cost-saving investigative tool because it reduces the number of false leads that detectives normally would have to chase.”
