MiSeq FGx Applications & Methods
Key Applications and Methods
Targeted sequencing of forensically relevant STR and SNP loci empowers you to generate leads, even on cold cases. With NGS, crime laboratories can address hundreds of markers in a single test. This lets labs develop a more thorough, detailed profile from degraded, mixed, and limited DNA samples.
See how researchers are using next-generation sequencing on the MiSeq FGx to maximize the chances for a useful profile in criminal casework.

ForenSeq Universal Analysis Software
This fully validated software can be used to manage, analyze and interpret a wide range of forensics casework and database samples.
Millions of DNA profiles are curated in national DNA databases. NGS can help labs produce high-quality forensic DNA profiles more efficiently. Because Illumina sequencing technology analyzes multiple marker sets simultaneously, rather than sequentially, there is a faster turnaround.
