Low-coverage and degraded samples are a reality in forensic casework—but how do they actually perform in genetic genealogy databases?

Join this webinar by Astrea Forensics’ Director of Bioinformatics Kevin Lord to learn about our new WOPR bioinformatic analysis pipeline.

What we'll cover:

• WOPR performance on 0.1×, 0.2×, and 1× coverage data, including artificially damaged DNA

• Match list comparisons between traditional DTC kits and WOPR-generated profiles

• Results from authentic low-coverage forensic samples, including bone and hair

• A case study featuring an extremely old sample

• Review of QC reports and key metrics (WOPR and internal)

• A real-world example where a WOPR-generated genotype file succeeded when a prior pipeline failed

WOPR is purpose-built for low-quality and degraded forensic samples, producing GEDmatch-compatible genotypes within a reproducible, auditable, and validated workflow.
