The BCIT Forensic DNA Laboratory is working on validating the Verogen ForenSeq Signature Prep kit. This kit is run on a Next-Generation Sequencer and is able to not only analyze a number of forensic DNA markers simultaneously but also able to provide hair and eye colour as well as ancestry predictions for forensic samples.
On Thursday, April 21, 2022, Jason presented a webinar with Verogen about their new enhanced buffer for the kit and how it helps rescue challenging bone samples that are negatively impacted by PCR inhibitors.
