Overview

GeneMarker® HID Human Identity Software is a powerful tool designed for forensic profiling applications. This expert system software serves as a user-friendly alternative to GeneMapper® ID and GeneMapper® IDX human identification software, significantly reducing analyst-required edits by 18-73% per sample. GeneMarkerHID is concordant with GeneMapper® ID and GeneMapper® IDX and compatible with output files from major capillary electrophoresis systems, including ABI®PRISM, Applied Biosystems SeqStudio™, Hitachi High-Tech Compact CE Sequencer DS3000, Promega Spectrum Compact CE Systems, and Syntol Nanophore® 05 genetic analyzers. It also supports various chemistries such as GlobalFiler™ 6-Dye™, Identifiler®, Minifiler®, PowerPlex®16, PowerPlex®ESI, PowerPlex®Fusion 5 and 6 Dye, Investigator®24Plex, Investigator®DIPplex, and SureID® STR. GeneMarkerHID software is optimized for standard STR analysis and can analyze profiles from Y-STRs, Low Copy Number (LCN) samples, ABI's MiniFiler™ Kit, and replicate sample consensus. It includes applications for 2-contributor mixture analysis, relationship testing, database searching for matching/near matching profiles, familial search capabilities, missing persons identification, and paternity testing. The software has been validated by forensic labs worldwide and includes many time-saving tools, such as an automated contamination check, which reduce casework backlogs and analyst fatigue.
