Forensics TTA
Virtual Training for Forensic DNA Professionals: Kinship and Parentage Analysis
Developed by the Forensics TTA Program, led by RTI International, in collaboration with Bode Technology with funding provided by the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), this self-paced, web-based training is designed specifically for BJA Forensics Programs grantees. The course was created to address a critical gap in accessible kinship analysis training resources for forensic DNA professionals. While kinship analysis has long been used in parentage and family relationship testing, it holds significant value in forensic casework including missing persons investigations, unidentified human remains cases, sexual assaults, and other violent crimes.
