Welcome to DNA Dimensions Welcome to DNA Dimensions |
DNA testing
is a highly technical process and forensic testing
requires extreme accuracy, thoroughness and documentation. Only a laboratory
with expert, experienced staff and critically refined processing
techniques can provide the level of performance needed to assure quality
results that will withstand the rigorous review required to hold up in a
court of law.
The forensic staff at DNA Dimension’s laboratory has considerable expertise in performing Y-STR analysis and interpretation in forensic casework. This technology can be more sensitive than STR analysis. Y-STR analysis can supplement STR analysis to more clearly distinguish a male contributor in a low level mixture.
For comprehensive expert witness testimony, the staff members at DNA Dimensions’
laboratory possess considerable knowledge of the legal applications of DNA
evidence, enabling them to describe critical aspects of their process, including
chain of custody, security, proper evidence handling, and quality control. The
forensic staff members have been trained to explain in understandable terms the
technical points of DNA analysis, such as developing STR profiles and
statistical calculations.
