Forensic DNA Testing Can Prove Guilt or Innocence
Forensic DNA testing is the identification and evaluation of genetic evidence in criminal matters. This type of analysis has become increasingly important for establishing guilt or innocence in people charged with a crime. All About Truth DNA Services has processed DNA for use by attorneys; to re-examine DNA evidence in the wake of a judgment; to establish criminal paternity or sexual assault; and to support fraud investigations.
We use test results from STR (DNA markers), Y-STR (male chromosomes) and MtDNA (maternal relative analysis).
DNA samples for forensic testing can be taken from blood, semen, saliva, or hair (with the root intact, not cut hairs).
Forensic DNA testing saw a boost of publicity with the Innocence Project, which helped exonerate hundreds of people who were wrongfully convicted. It is as powerful a tool in determining guilt as in determining innocence. The data, the science, are objective, accurate, and fair.
DNA Testing for Forensic Uses
Forensic DNA testing is the identification and evaluation of biological evidence in criminal matters using DNA technologies. Today’s legal and business environments afford greater use and need for the applications of Forensic DNA testing than ever before. Forensic DNA Testing uses a sample of DNA, the genetic material that is unique to each individual, to establish a person’s identity. A sample of tissue from an individual contains all of the genetic information needed to code that person, from the color of their hair to the shape of the toes. Our lab technicians subject this DNA sample to computer analysis, for a statistical match based on probability. The odds can range in percentage, up to 99%-plus.
We work with legal professionals, law enforcement agencies, and private investigators as well as individuals to establish the identity of an individual. All About Truth DNA Services can provide a range of forensic services which include:
- Evidence Screening
- Semen Detection, DNA Detection and Blood Detection
- Forensic DNA Testing or Infidelity DNA Testing

Accreditation and Licences
Because of the sensitive and critical aspect of forensic DNA testing, it is necessary to observe regulations laid down by the court system. For this reason, our contract lab is approved by the American Society of Crime Laboratory Directors (“ASCLD”); National Forensic Science Technology Center (“NFSTC”) with ISO 17025; Texas Department of Public Safety and the New York State Department of Health.
Forensic DNA Testing Can Resolve Many Issues
Forensic DNA testing is put to many uses, and can have a powerful impact on people’s lives. This scientific tool has changed many people’s lives and have exonerated them from crimes not committed.
