TrueAllele DNA algorithm
TrueAllele is a widely used DNA analysis system developed by Pittburgh-based Cybergene tics that has been used in over a thousand criminal justice cases in the US and internationally. Released in 2009, TrueAllele uses probabilistic genotyping to help link a genetic sample — such as a sample from crime-scene evidence — to a person of interest (POI) in a criminal investigation.
