Forensic DNA Diagnostics

At Genetest Corporation it is our mission to offer novel DNA forensic diagnostic procedures in a comprehensive manner to provide DNA genetic information.

Utilizing the latest in STR technology and genomic amplification we can provide you with the answers you need and trust.  Identification genetics is commonly used to provide DNA evidence for child custody, divorce, support payments, immigration, will estate relation establishment, adoption, legal admission and curiosity purposes.

Novel extraction techniques allow for special cases when samples may not be available to prove a necessary relationship.  A few strands of hair, clothing, swabs or blood testing are some of the sample types used repeatedly in establishing genetic identity relationships with certain accuracy.

Genetest in Focus
Sperm and Semen Detection

Sperm and Semen Detection Service is a popular service to detect the presence of sperm or semen on submitted samples. Sperm comparison services may provide unquestionable evidence in matters concerning infidelity. The testing procedure is performed on any sample that is submitted for detection. Samples submitted may include sheets, clothes, stained materials or any material suspected of being soiled. >More

DNA Infidelity Analysis

Forensic Infidelity testing services compare forensic materials including undergarments, beddings, clothing or other suspected soiled articles with suspected persons and/or other materials. A DNA profile is generated for each human specimen that is found on articles submitted and matched with the suspected or known samples from parties in question. >More

DNA Databanking

DNA Databanking services are for those parties who wish to store their DNA for extended periods of time in cryogenic storage. Such services are extremely useful for future determination and analysis of genetic diseases that run in family lines and also allow for future genetic studies to occur well beyond the death of an individual. >More

Criminal Profiling

DNA fingerprinting or profiling is a technique that identifies the DNA from a certain individual without examining the entire three billion letters in the full human genome. It can be used to track down criminals, test the parentage of children, and to follow the evolution of species. >More

DNA Identification

DNA collection and analysis gives the criminal justice field a powerful tool for convicting the guilty and exonerating the innocent. Procedural improvements have made the collection of DNA evidence more efficient and reliable, and advances in science allow forensic scientists to identify DNA samples from hair, bone, and ever smaller amounts of blood and other body fluids. >More

Mitochondrial DNA

MtDNA sequencing is often used in cases where biological evidence may be degraded or small in quantity. Cases in which hairs, bones, or teeth are the only evidence retrieved from a crime scene are particularly well-suited to mtDNA analysis. Missing persons cases can benefit from mtDNA testing when skeletonized remains are recovered and compared to samples from the maternal relatives or personal effects of missing individuals. Also, hairs recovered at crime scenes can often be used to include or exclude individuals using mtDNA testing. >More

Y Chromosome STRs

The Y-Chromosome STRs DNA testing enables examination of the male-specific portion of biological evidence. This capability can be especially important in situations where a small amount of male DNA may be recovered in the presence of excess female DNA, such as in sexual assault evidence. Y-Chromosome STRs analysis can also benefit missing persons investigations as it extends the range of potential reference samples. Since fathers pass their Y-Chromosome STRs onto their sons unchanged (except for an occasional mutation), all males in a paternal lineage will possess a common Y-Chromosome STRs haplotype. >More
