SNP profile: A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) profile is a unique pattern of genetic variations (SNPs) found in an individual’s DNA. These variations are single-letter differences in the DNA sequence compared to a reference genome. By analyzing these variations, researchers and clinicians can gain insights into disease susceptibility, drug response, relatedness, and ancestry.
SNP array: A SNP array, or single-nucleotide polymorphism array, is a type of microarray used to analyze DNA variations, specifically single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), across the genome. These arrays contain a large number of probes that can bind to specific DNA sequences, allowing researchers to identify variations in DNA across many individuals or samples simultaneously.
Forensic Investigative Genetic Genealogy: Forensic Investigative Genetic Genealogy (FIGG) is a technique that combines traditional genealogy with DNA analysis to generate investigative leads in criminal investigations, particularly for cold cases and unidentified remains. It involves uploading DNA profiles to public genealogy databases, identifying genetic relatives, and using traditional genealogy research to build family trees and potentially identify individuals.
FIGG Law Enforcement user: Access to Law Enforcement user accounts is restricted to police and forensic teams, including approved genealogists. Searching for matches related to violent crimes is limited to those profiles that have “opted in” to Law Enforcement matching. All database profiles are available for matching for the purpose of human remains identification (missing persons).
Cost-effective, accurate results and a successful outcome all start with how you submit your casework.
Make the submission process easier by following these four simple steps and you’ll have your analysis in no time.
