Discover the power of Kintelligence for Forensic Investigative Genetic Genealogy
Whole genome sequencing (WGS) and SNP arrays are the most established methods for generating a SNP profile for forensic investigative genetic genealogy (FIGG) comparisons, but they were never designed for forensic samples. ForenSeq Kintelligence is the most optimized way to generate a SNP profile for FIGG and offers a range of benefits compared to other methods.
Why Choose Kintelligence?
Designed for forensic samples
ForenSeq Kintelligence is the only workflow designed specifically for the types of samples found in forensic investigations. Optimized to successfully recover information from low concentration, inhibited, degraded DNA, Kintelligence targets only the information needed to find matches to relatives during a FIGG search, excluding the medically relevant information revealed by other FIGG methods but purposefully avoided by all other mainstream forensic sample workflows.
Compliant with accepted forensic laboratory practices
Kintelligence has been validated according to the same high standards as the methods used to generate the 150 million+ STR profiles stored on national DNA databases worldwide. The integrated solution of chemistry, instrumentation and software is constructed to fit seamlessly into a range of existing forensic laboratory environments and thus benefit from extensive forensic experience and expertise. From sample chain of custody to data management and security, you can be confident your forensic sample is being handled by forensic professionals.
Inclusive uploads to GEDmatch PRO
Kintelligence profiles can be uploaded to the secure GEDmatch PRO portal without the requirement to purchase upload credits. The cost of the upload is included in the price of the Kintelligence kit to help manage case budgets.
