Investigator survey on Forensic Investigative Genetic Genealogy: Current use, limitations, and sustainability.

Forensic science international - 1 Nov 2026

Reich Arielle, Houkes Abigail, Woolery Robin, Hughes Cris

Abstract excerpt

With over 1000 cases now resolved with the help of Forensic Investigative Genetic Genealogy (FIGG), this new tool has been shown to produce investigative leads where traditional DNA testing has not. Because of FIGG's success, state public forensic laboratories have begun to examine considerations for implementing it in-house, including: integrating FIGG into current quality assurance systems, the instrumentation...
