Staff from the Armed Forces DNA Identification Laboratory (AFDIL) that were instrumental in the development and validation of the Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) capture gather for a group picture at the Armed Forces Medical Examiner System, Dover Air Force Base, Delaware, February 13, 2025. SNP capture builds upon the mitochondrial genome (mtG) Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) and hybridization capture methods validated in 2016. In 2015, knowing that traditional nuclear short tandem repeat methods would not work on samples requiring mtG NGS methods, AFDIL worked with the Department of Defense Small Business Innovation Research program and Defense Rapid Innovation group, and submitted a public proposal.
