Cybergenetics Inc

Description

Dr. Mark Perlin founded Cybergenetics in 1994 to commercialize technology he developed privately out of his research for the Human Genome Project. Dr. Perlin created automated STR interpretation and analysis technology that could easily analyze and interpret DNA data rapidly and cost effectively, while reducing human error. In 1998 Dr. Perlin was approached by the UK Forensic Science Service to adapt Cybergenetics automated STR technology for automating forensic single source DNA analysis and interpretation. Working with some of the foremost laboratories in forensics, Cybergenetics began to develop technology that could analyze and interpret complex mixed crimes scene DNA in a matter of minutes. In 2002, the New York State Police submitted the first NDIS validation for expert systems in the US for TrueAllele Databank. The NYSP later published their groundbreaking scientific validation in the Journal of Forensic Sciences, where it became the foundation for the Federal expert system validation standards. In 2006 the NYSP submitted a second NDIS validation for TrueAllele Databank as an expert system that was approved. Most recently, the TrueAllele technology is extending into mass disaster related work. In September 2006, Cybergenetics won a contract to reanalyze and reinterpret all the DNA victim remains from the World Trade Center terrorist attack. Cybergenetics is exploring other areas where its TrueAllele technology with a powerful automated DNA database and matching capability can improve the speed and results of DNA interpretation and analysis.
