PRESS RELEASE

PITTSBUGH — When standard forensic software cannot extract useful information from DNA evidence, criminal justice agencies rely on Cybergenetics’ TrueAllele technology for deeper insight. To date, TrueAllele has assisted 747 governmental, nonprofit, and private organizations. These include police departments, prosecutors, defense attorneys, and innocence groups.

From these forensic DNA interpretation efforts, Cybergenetics has supplied TrueAllele match results in over 1,300 cases across 48 U.S. states.

Almost 200 state, local, federal, foreign, and private DNA laboratories have sent their electronic DNA data to Cybergenetics for TrueAllele analysis. This broad usage underscores the technology’s ability to develop useful information from DNA data that other mixture methods find “uninterpretable”.

TrueAllele is a fully automated probabilistic genotyping system that routinely solves complex or “inconclusive” DNA mixtures—turning what was once considered uninterpretable evidence into reliable identification results. Since TrueAllele’s introduction in 2001, government crime labs have used it to solve tens of thousands of criminal cases. The computer’s answers help both prosecution and defense.

“Cybergenetics invented probabilistic genotyping twenty-five years ago,” says Cybergenetics Chief Scientist and Executive Dr. Mark Perlin. “Our Made-In-America technology serves the public by bringing scientific truth to criminal justice. Our pioneering and unparalleled TrueAllele technology lets victims win justice and innocents go free.”
“Some forensic scientists use ineffective foreign-made knockoff DNA mixture interpretation technology,” continues Dr. Perlin. “TrueAllele can get far more information, giving voice to software-silenced DNA evidence. Cybergenetics’ better science makes a difference in American lives every day.”

What makes TrueAllele different

● Interprets DNA mixtures containing up to 10 people
● Supports Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) STR data
● Solves degraded, low-level, and touch DNA
● Performs automated familial searching
● Requires no analytical or interpretation thresholds
● Handles challenging paternity and other kinship cases

TrueAllele has been extensively validated in peer-reviewed and independent scientific papers and reports. The system has withstood 49 admissibility hearings in state, federal, and foreign jurisdictions, establishing courtroom reliability.
TrueAllele has been certified as “Made in USA” by Made in the USA Brand, LLC—making it the only accepted probabilistic genotyping software fully invented, developed, tested, and produced in the United States.

Commitment to transparency

Subject to access policies, Cybergenetics provides legal teams with executable TrueAllele software for independent case data analysis. For scientific transparency, we provide confidential access to computer source code.

TrueAllele makes the impossible routine—unlocking the power of DNA evidence when justice needs it most.
