FSS-ibd makes relationship analysis simple - coming soon
FSS-ibd is an automated relationship testing application that can dramatically improve the speed, efficiency and cost-effectiveness of your laboratory processes.
FSS-ibd is so easy to use and feature-rich, that an experienced DNA analyst using the system can analyse and report a paternity, immigration or other relationship testing casework problem in just a few minutes.

Easy to set up, easy to use
Like all our DNA Expert Software Solutions, FSS-ibd is built to the highest possible scientific and technical standards, yet is specifically designed to be easy to use.

Through a clear graphical user interface, analysts can undertake simple or complex relationship analyses by creating hypothetical pedigree trees using a ‘drag and
drop’ technique.

With just a few clicks of the mouse they can then add in DNA data. They can also determine exactly how the analysis will be carried out, as the application can account for potential mutations and allow for rare alleles (size-bias) and Fst corrections.
FSS-ibd can import DNA profiles from FSS-i3, from other commercial interpretation software or from a MS Excel spreadsheet.

Reap the benefits of FSS-ibd
Developed by forensic scientists for forensic scientists, FSS-ibd can deliver a wide range of benefits to your organisation:
·         Lets you create your own laboratory specific system using the in-built data
·         Improves the productivity and efficiency of your lab
·         Reduces the unit cost of your DNA relationship testing
·         Speeds up analysis and reporting processes
·         Allows for easy analysis of the most complex relationships

Enjoy a rich set of features
To make life even simpler for analysts, FSS-ibd already contains a palette of pedigree patterns for common relationship problems – paternity, single parent and sibling analysis – which can be edited or combined to investigate more complex relationships.
The system is supplied with every common STR marker system built in and the ‘gene pool’ data for each of these has already been generated for UK and US populations. The user can modify or edit this data within the application to create a customised laboratory tool.
In addition, FSS-ibd includes an advanced report generation tool that documents all stages of the analysis. Users can also request laboratory-specific statements for court or clients which the system will create in a matter of seconds.
