Othram technology enables the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs) and
the Australian Federal Police’s (AFP) National DNA Program to identify human remains and
resolve missing persons cases. Local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies across the
United States and internationally have partnered with Othram to break through previously
impenetrable forensic DNA barriers and close previously unsolvable cases.
Othram features essential infrastructure and process for testing forensic DNA evidence,
including automatic human enrichment, separate unidirectional workflows, and upfront DNA profile
feasibility assessment to avoid unnecessary evidence consumption.
Optimized for Identification
Othram digitizes many types of genetic variation, powering proprietary KinSNP® analysis,
mixture
deconvolution, and genealogy. These methods, in combination with the DNASolves® database and
other
resources, enable human ID from forensic evidence.
Secure and Accountable
Othram uniquely offers in-house processing of evidence, from DNA extraction, enrichment, and
repair, to sequencing and genealogy. Our accredited lab supports chain of custody and is staffed
by seasoned forensic DNA analysts with experience testifying in court.
The best case scenario.
Forensic evidence will degrade over time. Don't lose your evidence or allow it to be destroyed by
inadequate testing or inexperienced consultants. We work with forensic professionals, medical
examiners and law enforcement globally to achieve results the first time, even when other approaches
have failed. Learn how Othram and our accredited laboratory can help you solve your case and
support you from crime scene to courtroom.
It’s easy—and safe—to submit your at-home DNA test kit. We’ll use your information as a single data
point that could help connect the dots to solve a crime or reunite an unidentified person with their
family.
When you upload your DNA data, your specific genetic information isn’t disclosed. Your data are used
to help law enforcement better home in on a suspect or unidentified person, kind of like sonar for
solving crimes.
