New Genealogy Testing Services

By HospiMedica staff writers
Posted on 26 May 2004
A new test for human identity and related services enable users to identify and preserve their genetic profiles.

The test is the same as that used by forensic and paternity laboratories and is based on a genetic variation known as short tandem repeat, or STR. More...
These STR genetic markers form a unique identifying code for each individual, statistically powerful enough for human identification. The STR Map service allows consumers to have these markers typed for their private and confidential use by DNAPrint genomics (Sarasota, FL, USA).

Records manager software from Pearl Street Software, called Family Tree Legends, also available now from DNAPrint, preserves genealogy findings. In addition, DNAPrint offers another test, called Ancestry by DNA 2.5, which determines an individual's genomic percentage of sub-Saharan African, East Asian, European, and Native American.

"We welcome the opportunity to bring customers the benefits of preserving and further exploring their genetic profiles. This adds a whole new dimension to the information a genealogist can collect, and by teaming up with Pearl Street Software on this, we add to the value of the information we can provide,” said Dr. Matt Thomas, senior scientist at DNAPrint. "This type of genetic information should enhance our understanding of where we come from and how our families may interrelate.”
