BIOGENETICS incorporates the MiSeq FGx Forensics system

May 17, 2018, noon
BIOGENETICS has improved its services thanks to the additon of a MiSeq FGx ™ Forensic Genomics System, from the Illumina company, offering this service for the first time in Spain. It is the first fully validated NGS sequencing system for forensic analysis, which simultaneously interrogates microsatellites (STR short tandem repeats) and other molecular markers such as SNPs, to provide informative DNA profiles. It is compatible with the existing DNA databases, including the CODIS (Combined DNA Index System), which can be used both in the investigation of criminal cases and in situations of massive catastrophes, missing persons or in the identification of human remains. It also allows processing very committed samples, with highly degraded DNA or complex mixtures, generating more genetic information in a single analysis than was possible to date. It also provides data on visible physical features (such as hair and eye color) and bio-geographical background, in a much more reliable way than the testimony of an eyewitness, which can be crucial in the clarification of a crime.
