TrueAllele is a software program by Cybergenetics that analyzes DNA using statistical methods, a process called probabilistic genotyping.
[1] The program can be used in situations unsuited to traditional methods, such as when a mixture of multiple people's DNA is in a sample.
[2] Some studies, mostly conducted by Cybergenetics' Chief Scientific Officer Mark W. Perlin, have validated the program's accuracy.
[3] In one study, TrueAllele distinguished between the genetic code of first-degree relatives with "great accuracy".
[4] The President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology has noted that many validation studies were made by people affiliated with TrueAllele and are therefore not independent, demanding more independent research.
