Trace Genetics is a rapidly growing Identity Genomics company with innovative and proven protocols for mtDNA analyses. Our chief scientists provide scientific counseling and expert witness consulting for both the legal and forensic communities.
Trace Genetics' Forensic Services are built on:
academic disciplines of population genetics, molecular biology and anthropology
acknowledged expertise and hands-on experience working with the most degraded samples
strict laboratory standards that minimize contamination while maximizing the possibility of extracting clean DNA
Clients of Trace Genetics experience greater accuracy of results, personalized customer care, rapid turn-around-time of samples and unparalleled expertise, all within a competitive pricing structure.
Trace Genetics demonstrates not only proven results in degraded mtDNA cases but also consistent quality with reference samples. Our degraded DNA analysis protocols carry over to the protocols used for reference samples, giving clients total confidence that all samples are handled with equal care and precision. We offer comprehensive support of all of our analyses above and beyond the laboratory report.
Trace Genetics' core facility features a positively pressurized ancient DNA and degraded DNA laboratory with independent air flow and restricted access. This results in the cleanest possible environment for the most sensitive samples. Our researchers utilize state-of-the-art equipment for DNA detection, quantitation and analysis, including realtime PCR and capillary electrophoresis for sequence and fragment length analysis. Trace Genetics implements superior quality assurance protocols that minimize the risk of contamination while maximizing sample integrity to ensure the highest standard of quality. We are committed to keeping our facilities and protocols up-to-date to maintain excellence in our field.
Trace Genetics' lead scientists have combined 17+ years experience working with ancient DNA and have successfully analyzed samples up to 10,000 years old. Trace Genetics has effectively extracted pure mtDNA from 2000 year old tooth samples when other labs were unable.
Trace Genetics also utilizes advanced methods for detecting low levels of heteroplasmy undetectable with standard methods. This method, using cloning technology to separate multiple DNAs in a PCR product, allows for extreme sensitivity and the highest degree of accuracy in the assessment of heteroplasmy and multiple DNA contributors to an mtDNA profile.
The scientists of Trace Genetics have performed mitochondrial investigations in high profile cases for both the Bureau of Land Management and the Department of the Interior. Trace Genetics also serves archaeological firms, university researchers, other government agencies and private individuals.
