EXHIBITOR'S INFORMATION
Gene Codes Forensics is a software and management consulting firm that develops tools for forensic DNA analysis. The Mass Fatality Identification System (M-FISys, pronounced “emphasis”) is a powerful database application that can manage DNA profiles and make identifications by direct matches or kinship analysis. It can be used for missing persons investigations, disaster victim identification, and national criminal DNA databases. This was the principal DNA data management system of the 9-11 World Trade Center victim identification project. We also continue to develop Sequencher, the premier software tool for mitochondrial DNA analysis.

We are a researching biotech company situated in Dresden, Germany. Since 1999 we develop molecular biological products for forensics, human and veterinary medicine, as well as construction surveys. Our experience in DNA analytics enables us to develop together with our scientific partners in vitro diagnostics and to establish these on the market. All products based on multiplex analysis of genomic DNA variations like polymorphic repetitive sequences (STRs), point mutations (SNPs) or deletions and insertions (DIPs) that can be widely used to differentiate between individuals or to diagnose diseases by capillary electrophoresis, Real-Time-PCR or microarray technology.
