(OTCBB:GTHA) is pleased to announce that they will be offering workshops for individuals interested in learning the theory and methodology behind CODIS-based human DNA identification, the basis of paternity and forensic casework. Different levels of courses for non-scientists and scientists (towards continuing education credits) will be available with different levels of technical information presented. Both types of courses will utilize buccal cell swab samples from individuals who will perform laboratory exercises to extract DNA, amplify by PCR and detect STR targets by capillary electrophoresis. All procedures are kit-based with very well-established protocols to allow individuals to obtain their own CODIS DNA profiles, along with associated lectures. Lectures and laboratory work for these sessions will be directed and taught by scientists with extensive experience in this molecular biology application.
