(PR NEWSWIRE) DNAPrint Launches New Genealogy Products and Service in Family Tr e Legends DNAPrint Launches New Genealogy Products and Service in Family Tree Legends
SARASOTA, Fla., May 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- DNAPrint genomics (OTC Bulletin Board: DNAP) of Sarasota, FL announced that it is launching a new product -- "STR Map" -- to be used for determining paternity and identity in genealogy testing in the Family Tree Legends web site: www.familytreelegends.com along with its ANCESTRYbyDNA(TM) 2.5. DNAPrint genomics is pleased to announce the release of its STR Map service in conjunction with Pearl Street Software. STR Map uses the industry's gold standard in Human Identity testing, the same test used by forensic and paternity labs around the world. The test is based on a genetic variation known as short tandem repeat or "STR." These genetic markers form a unique identifying code for each individual, statistically powerful enough for human identification. The STR Map service allows the consumer to have these markers typed for their private and confidential use. By teaming up with Pearl Street Software and its highly rated records manager software, Family Tree Legends, the usefulness of this service to the genealogy community grows. The STR Map service adds to the tests and services already offered by DNAPrint genomics including its popular ANCESTRYbyDNA(TM) 2.5 test, which determines your percentage of Sub-Saharan African, East Asian, European and Native American. "We welcome the opportunity to bring customers the benefits of preserving and further exploring their genetic profiles. This adds a whole new dimension to the information a genealogist can collect, and by teaming with Pearl Street Software on this, we add to the value of the information we can provide. This type of genetic information should enhance our understanding of where we come from and how our families may interrelate," said Dr. Matt Thomas, Senior Scientist at DNAPrint(TM). "As the only records manager that handles DNA, Family Tree Legends continues to bring genetic genealogy into the fold as a must-have tool for family historians. With this new release, DNAPrint(TM) has further solidified itself in the DNA market, and I'm certain the exposure will have more genealogists using their services," said Cliff Shaw, President and CEO of Pearl Street Software.
