The laboratories of DNAlogy implement the most advanced DNA analysis techniques to identify human genetic material by analysing nuclear DNA (24-44 genetic markers), the Y chromosome and mitochondrial DNA.
In addition, they offer exclusive services of identification of biological origin of the samples, as well as services of suspect identification, by specifying the physical characteristics of suspects.
Our Services
Nuclear DNA Analysis
____
The analysis of nuclear DNA from every source of biological material (blood, hairs, nails, saliva, sperm, etc) and any background (biopsies, clothes, cigarette butts, glasses, documents, guns, etc) can identify person where it comes from.
Y Chromosome Analysis
____
The analysis of the Y chromosome allows to determine common paternal lineage in cases of biological relationship and to selectively test male individuals in cases of mixed genetic material (e.g. sexual assaults).
Mitochondrial DNA Analysis
____
The analysis of Mitochondrial DNA allows to determine common maternal lineage in cases of biological relationship. Due to its durability, it allows testing of biological materials of poor quality, when nuclear DNA has been destroyed.
Metagenomics
____
DNA profiling has a different value depending on the context. Co-detection of human DNA with DNA deriving from micro-organisms (bacteria from the skin, mouth, vaginal flora, etc) provides important information about the source and how the material got there.
Genetic Portrait Robot
____
The genetic portrait robot is a new method that allows the determination of the external characteristics of an individual (eye and hair colour, skin type), but also their geographical origin, information particularly important when investigating criminal acts
