DNAprint Genomics (DNAG)

I wondered about this wording when I read the press release yesterday:

"...the new service fulfills a Company need to ensure that the results match the sample."

This might be a chain of custody consideration here - the company having to observe stringent chain of custody requirements as part of gaining accreditation and operating as a normal forensics laboratory. There might be a potential issue with future cases where DNAWitness has been used, and a STR test has not been used at the same time to authenticate the sample and match the two results. Offering the STRmap service now in conjunction with DNAWitness is, in this scenario, paving the way for something they might have to do anyway.
