We are Single-minded: Mitochondrial
DNA Analysis is Our Only Focus
The new Mitotyping Technologies is totally devoted
to the forensic applications of mitochondrial
DNA (mtDNA) analysis. We are one of the oldest
and most experienced group of scientists devoted
to this forensic and anthropological DNA specialty,
having worked on criminal, civil, exoneration
and federal cases in 50 states and numerous
foreign countries and have testified over 200
times in mtDNA cases for both the prosecution
and defense teams.
Ancient DNA Methodology
Mitochondrial DNA Analysis of shed hairs and
hair fragments is our specialty. We have a 95.5%
success rate in developing profiles from hairs
of all ages and sizes. For highly degraded samples,
we offer an "ancient DNA" approach.
Each sample is analyzed individually to account
for its specific analytical needs. Click here
