Home » SWGDAM Investigative Genetics Genealogy Working Group Update
The Scientific Working Group on DNA Analysis Methods (SWGDAM) established an Investigative Genetic Working Group in 2020. This Working Group was originally formed as a Committee of Correspondence to educate and inform SWGDAM on genetic genealogy issues and the technology involved in the forensic application of genetic genealogy. The original Committee of Correspondence drafted an overview document on Investigative Genetic Genealogy that contained a list of considerations for laboratories and law enforcement agencies to review when contemplating the use of the new forensic genetic technique. Following the document’s approval by SWGDAM, the IGG Working Group was formed. An update on the Working Group’s current activities and interaction with the CODIS community will be presented.
