SARASOTA, FL -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 06/01/2006 -- DNAPrint Genomics, Inc. (OTCBB: DNAG) today announced that President and Chief Executive Officer Richard Gabriel participated in a discussion on National Public Radio's News & Notes program about the use of DNA testing by individuals exploring their family heritage.

Mr. Gabriel noted during the discussion that DNAPrint Genomics has an established position regarding privacy for those who take DNA tests to determine their ancestry. "We protect the information (we get) from individuals and we don't use it in any other way," he stated. "If they want it destroyed, we destroy it. The DNA that people get is their DNA. It's not ours or anyone else's. We believe very strongly in that."

DNAPrint Genomics utilizes its proprietary DNA technology in three business segments: pharmacogenomics, ancestry and forensics. The Company's DNAPrint Pharmaceuticals subsidiary is developing test/drug combinations designed to increase efficacy and reduce side effects. The Company's ANCESTRYbyDNA™ product for determining family heritage targets the consumer market. Its DNAWITNESS™ technology is utilized by law enforcement agencies.

News & Notes, hosted by award winning journalist Ed Gordon, is a nationally broadcast public affairs program featuring trends and topical issues of interest and importance to the African-American community.
