About this webinar

ForenSeq Kintelligence is an integrated solution for Forensic Investigative Genetic Genealogy (FIGG). With this kit, you can prepare libraries and sequence and analyze them in a single, streamlined workflow for efficient assessment of forensically relevant SNPs. This webinar will cover the internal validation of ForenSeq Kintelligence Kit at Signature Science’s Center for Advanced Genomics. 

  • Optimized methods were incorporated to improve performance, particularly with low-input samples. 
  • The validation testing following SWGDAM standards demonstrated sensitivity down to 50 pg of DNA, high precision and accuracy, the ability to detect mixtures, negligible contamination and high performance with nonprobative samples.
  • The validated protocol is being applied to current, in-house casework on challenging samples resulting in high call rates. 

Michelle Peck from Signature Science, LLC will also discuss the next steps toward the analysis of mixture samples. This webinar is brought to you by QIAGEN Human Identification and Forensics.
