DNAP exhibiting DNA Witness:

"We are extremely pleased to be exhibiting DNAWitness™ and other products at the IACP Conference, which draws 14,000 law enforcement officials from all over the world," stated DNAPrint President and Chief Executive Officer Richard Gabriel. "We look forward to demonstrating how DNAWitness™ can improve their crime scene investigations and enhance their forensic capabilities."

DNAWitness™ employs patent-pending, database-driven methods to infer elements of physical appearance from crime scene DNA and allow forensic investigators to "paint" molecular portraits of a suspect. This innovative forensic technology has already been used in some 130 cases, including the arrest and conviction of Derrick Todd Lee for a series of murders in Louisiana and in New Scotland Yard's search for the so-called Minstead Rapist, a serial sex offender who is operating in an area south of London.

DNAWitness™ derives the percentage of European, East Asian, Native American, and Sub-Saharan African markers in a person's DNA. This ratio for an individual is termed Bio-Geographical Ancestry (BGA), representing general characteristics that can be matched with a searchable database containing information and photographs collected from samples around the world, leading to more accurate identifications of potential criminal suspects.
