Gene-by-Gene (parent company of FTDNA) has entered an exclusive agreement with Othram for forensic genetic genealogy.


Gene by Gene Selects Othram as Exclusive Partner for Forensic Genetic Genealogy Search and Analysis

Partnership is a force multiplier for forensic investigations, combining Gene by Gene’s genetic genealogy database for law enforcement, with Othram’s purpose-built forensic analysis tools.

The Woodlands, TX — January 23, 2024

Gene by Gene, a leader in genetic genealogy testing and operator of the FamilyTreeDNA brand, today announced its decision to select Othram, the pioneer in forensic DNA sequencing, as its exclusive partner for forensic genetic genealogy search and analysis. This strategic alliance is a force multiplier for forensic investigations, combining Gene by Gene’s consented database with Othram’s purpose-built forensic analysis tools.

Gene by Gene’s forensic matching database is the largest database in the world consented for law enforcement use to solve violent crimes. Over the past several years, Othram has helped law enforcement crack cases at the local, state, and federal level, many of which had been unsolved for decades. More forensic genetic genealogy (FGG) cases have been solved with Othram’s technology than any other method.

As pointed out by Leah LaPerle Larkin; “Gene-by-Gene is still misrepresenting their database as "consented for law enforcement use" when most of its customers are opted in by default”.

I'm pretty sure that the rest of DNA companies will follow the same steps too.

Idk what to think about all this tbh, I think that right now it'd be optional (Opt out) but later it'd be a mandatory option (Opt in).
