Illumina Announces First Targeted Next-Generation Sequencing Solution For Forensic Genomics

SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Illumina, Inc. (NASDAQ: ILMN) today announced the launch of the MiSeq FGx Forensic Genomics System, the first fully validated forensic next-generation sequencing (NGS) system, which simultaneously interrogates short tandem repeats (STR) and other valuable genetic markers, including single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), to provide informative DNA profiles. The system enables more robust analysis of a broader range of genetic markers in a single workflow than previous technology allowed, supporting the reliable analysis of both routine and challenging forensic DNA samples. With the MiSeq FGx System, crime labs can now identify investigative leads from “no suspect” cases that may otherwise reach a dead end.
