Epistem: Human Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) Identification collaboration
The NPIA provides critical national services to support frontline policing. It helps the police to save money and operate more efficiently. The NPIA will use Genedrive™ to target the ‘amelogenin’ sex gene and other single tandem repeats (STRs) that create the human DNA fingerprint. If trials are successful, the NPIA could use Genedrive™ to enable rapid and accurate DNA analysis at a crime scene leading to improved speed of identification, reduced cost and more efficient policing leading to a safer environment.
