eQMS::DNA
Pardus d.o.o.
eQMS::DNA is a system for maintenance and efficient searching of database of human genotypes for forensic purposes The type of polymorphisms and number of loci used for constructing genotypes is configurable, but typical installation will employ a standard set of 13 to 18 STR (short tandem repeat) loci. The system maintains data on individual donors with optional personal and demographic data, multiple samples containing genetic material taken from the donor, and genotypes obtained from the samples, possibly using multiple techniques and identification kits. Both processed genotypes and optional additional data such as peak quality and confidence parameters and raw electroferograms can be kept. The system also keeps profiles of as yet unidentified traces. Manual entry of data from plate gel electrophoresis is possible, but typical data source will be results from automated capillary electrophoresis sequencers. eQMS::DNA database can contain not only full profiles (e.g. 13-loci CODIS standard), but also partial ones obtained using different identification kits. While searching it is possible to relax match criteria (e.g. specify one base pair identification error tolerance). The searches can be performed interactively or in fully automatic mode. The system also supports mixed-stain searches with provisions for common contaminant identification (such as genotypes of laboratory or other forensic personnel). The system computes probability of random match using either population statistics gathered from profiles already in the database, or known allele distribution data for a particular population. Arbitrary number of distribution sets can be kept (including historical distributions from the database, necessary for retests). Apart from human forensic applications eQMS::DNA can be also successfully applied as a reliable and efficient tool for implementation of meat traceability. eQMS::DNA enables tracing of animal food products through the supply chain back to source animals, offering unprecedented levels of traceability. eQMS::DNA employs role-based access control with fine granularity (up to the attribute level). Full audit trail log is kept. The system adheres to CFR 21 part 11 recommendations.
