What DNA Can Do for You in 2023: An Update on the MSHP DNA Analysis Sections 
 
Thursday, June 8, 2023, 10 AM  to 12 PM    
 
In this webinar, MSHP DNA Casework Supervisor Shena Latcham will describe what processes that MSHP currently uses in the lab with an emphasis on updates to the MSHP DNA Casework system.  Ms. Latcham will explain the addition of the DNA Screening section, which is responsible for the primary analysis of all sexual assault kits, cases that are appropriate for genetic genealogy, how to go about getting those cases processed, and how outsourcing the processing of sexual assault kits has changed MSHP’s DNA Lab workflow. 
  
This course will be CLE, 210 and POST certified.   
 
 FYI - It is best to use headphones or external speakers for the webinar as the audio tends to be clearer.
