Ananomouse

OVERVIEW

The advent of Short Tandem Repeat (STR) technology has enabled even the most minute sample of degraded DNA to yield a useful profile for the process of identification.

Using its extensive technology development experience and expert advice from world leaders in forensic science, Ananomouse Corporation created BloodhoundTM, the first and only commercial kinship analysis tool capable of efficient deployment. Bloodhound's analysis engine based on STRs proved to be successful at identifying all victims in the Swissair Flight 111 Air Disaster in 1998 and thousands in the World Trade Center bombings.
