DNAPrint genomics Ancestry and Forensics Technologies Featured in TIME Magazine and Toronto Globe and Mail Articles An article in this week's edition of TIME magazine noted that more than
100,000 Americans, including celebrities such as Oprah Winfrey and Spike Lee,
have taken genealogical DNA tests offered by commercial laboratories to learn
more about their family history. TIME told the story of Brent Kennedy of Wise, Va., who thought that he was
of English and Scotch-Irish descent, even though he felt that members of his
family looked more Arabic than English. After taking DNAPrint's EUROWITNESS
1.0(TM) test, Mr. Wise learned that he was 45% Northern and Western European,
25% Middle Eastern, 25% Turkish-Green and 5% South Asian. The article can be accessed online at the magazine's website at
http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1079508,00.html . An article published in the June 25 edition of The Globe and Mail
(http://www.theglobeandmail.com ), a leading Toronto newspaper, reported how
DNAPrint's DNAWITNESS(TM) forensics technology can be utilized to narrow the
search for crime suspects. DNAWITNESS is the only testing method available for drawing information
about physical appearance from crime-scene DNA. The post-human genome
technology uses genetic features called Ancestry Informative Markers to infer
genomic ancesry admixture for individuals. The DNAWITNESS 2.5 and
ANCESTRYbyDNA 2.5 assays measure the relative proportion of European, Sub-
Saharan African, East Asian and Native American ancestry while the EURODNA 1.0
technology measures the relative proportion of Northern European, Southeastern
European, Middle Eastern and South Asian sub-ancestry for individuals
primarily of European descent. DNAWITNESS 2.5 is marketed only to law
enforcement agencies. The Company developed and markets ANCESTRYbyDNA for the
consumer market and individuals who are interested in learning their family
heritage. About DNAPrint genomics, Inc. DNAPrint genomics, Inc. (http://www.dnaprint.com ) is a developer of
