DNAprint Genomics (DNAG)

ann441j...I believe that much of the text on the website has been updated, either that or I'm just slowly losing my mind! lol But I don't recall this description of their Paternity Testing Service being there in the past:

Paternity

DNAPrintTM genomics, Inc. provides an affordable, confidential and accurate screening test service for paternity. Our paternity test is processed on an ABI 3700, a state of the art analyzer that measures the Short Tandem Repeat (STR) units that have been standardized. The test measures 16 loci (markers) and the 10 to 15 alleles that are associated with each loci. These alleles along with their combinations and intensity are like a fingerprint and are unique to each individual. The inheritance of these unique combinations of alleles can be tested using our ABI 3700 auto-analyzer and the results may be used to help individuals understand their genetic linkage to one another.

BTW, unless I'm mistaken, this text describes the 16 loci STR test that is the standard forensics test used for profiling DNA evidence in criminal cases. I wonder how long it will be before we are able to offer STR testing in criminal investigations?
