There is a lot of work to do, but it's always worth the effort. 

Many cold cases can be solved by combining crowdfunding, volunteered data, cutting-edge genomics, and tremendous teamwork.

DNASolves combines crowdfunding, volunteered data, and cutting-edge genomics to solve unresolved cases involving unidentified victims and perpetrators of crime. The DNASolves database is used exclusively to aid human identification investigations. DNASolves utilizes Othram’s advanced testing platform to secure the best outcome for every case.

DNASolves® Connect allows people that have not previously tested with a DNA testing company to contribute their DNA profiles to DNASolves. By contributing your DNA profile, you can help re-unite unidentified persons with family and or help identify perpetrators of crime.

If you’ve already taken a consumer DNA test from a third-party DNA testing service, you can download your raw DNA data from that service and then upload it to DNASolves at no charge. There is no need to use DNASolves® Connect if you have already tested elsewhere.

Your DNA profile is used exclusively to aid human identificaton investigations to help solve cases that otherwise could not be solved. Investigators that are authorized by law enforcement to perform forensic DNA profile searches can work with DNASolves. We will never allow public search or matching against your DNA profile. 

We used advanced security and encryption safeguards to protect your DNA profile. Your profile is used exclusively to aid human identification and is not used for other purposes, such as medical research. We never allow public searching or matching against your DNA profile.

Whether you upload a profile or send us your swab kit, you can request removal of your DNA profile at any time.
