Battelle’s Breakthrough STR Genotyping Allows Law Enforcement to Identify Criminals in Minutes or Hours Using DNA Samples Challenge As national security threats evolve, so must scientific and diagnostic approaches to human DNA identification and characterizations. Both the intelligence community (IC) and law enforcement agencies seek new forensic, field solutions that allow them to identify threat actors – like terrorists and criminals – faster, more accurately, and more cost-effectively, improving our national security posture. Next-generation genome sequencing is gaining traction in law enforcement for human identification; however, the challenge is genotyping short-tandem repeat (STR) loci using current genome sequencing technology. Although STRs are the most commonly used forensic mark
