Forensics

Advancing forensic science through targeted sequencing

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is transforming forensic science by enabling the recovery of meaningful genetic information from highly degraded or limited DNA samples. When combined with hybridization-based target capture, these technologies empower researchers and investigators to extract usable genomic data where traditional methods fail – bringing clarity to investigations, identifying unknown individuals, and expanding the reach of modern genetic genealogy.

Daicel Arbor Biosciences provides sensitive, proven targeted NGS solutions that:

Capture and sequence extremely short or damaged DNA fragments (<50 bp) that PCR-based approaches cannot access.
Tolerate nucleotide-level variation between reference baits and target molecules, essential for analyzing compromised forensic samples.
Support studies at any scale, from a single locus and the mitogenome, to hundreds to thousands of custom loci or markers, to entire nuclear genomes.
Include optimized protocols for forensic specimens, ensuring reliable enrichment and recovery of genetic material.

Discover how we simultaneously genotype millions of human genome-wide SNPs informative for forensic genetic genealogy (FGG) with the myBaits Compass 1.2M SNP kit and learn more about our customizable sequencing and bioinformatics services here.
