Forensics

WE GIVE A UNIQUE INSIGHT POWERED BY AI

BACKGROUND

Principles, data, and technologies from genomic, transcriptomic, and epigenomic research are used to find and evaluate valuable DNA and RNA markers to answer forensic issues that cannot or only partially can be answered using genetic or other methodologies. Advances in DNA technology have transformed the scope and practice of forensic medicine since the 1980s. From restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) to short tandem repeats (STRs), nextgeneration genome sequencing is now the focus.

WHAT WE DO?

We offer a machine learning based method for detecting and extracting short tandem repeat (STR) sequences from massively parallel sequencing data. STRs are found on each read using this method by first finding the largest repeat stretches, then utilizing k-mers in a machine learning sequence model to predict locus. The reference flanking sequence alignment is then used to identify accurate STR bounds. Also, this model is fully customizable to work with any kit or any number of STR loci. This can be used for reidentification and paternity testing. Our model also extends to analyze Human phenotype based on analysis of genes responsible for hair, skin, and eye colors to generate a realistic 3D model with the exact features of the person in question. Both the analysis of STR loci and phenotype responsible genes, with the help of AI, provides an extremely unique insight on human identification.
