SARASOTA, FL -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 06/22/2006 -- DNAPrint Genomics, Inc. (
AncestrybyDNA™ test kits and marketing materials will be made available
to participating dentists who will be able to provide DNA sampling in a
hygienic environment. Once the samples have been taken with a mouth swab,
the dentists will forward them to DNAPrint for analysis. Confidential test
results will be sent directly to patients from DNAPrint laboratories.
"We believe the professional, safe and trusted environments of dentists'
offices lend themselves perfectly to DNA sampling and test result
confidence," said DNAPrint President and Chief Executive Officer Richard
Gabriel. "We hope this program encourages individuals to explore their
family histories through genetic testing."
An attractive pricing plan, free marketing materials and an offer of
additional and more comprehensive DNAPrint genealogy tests are additional
features of the program.
Mr. Gabriel said that those who choose to have their DNA sampled can be
assured that the results are secure and confidential. In a recent
interview on National Public Radio's News & Notes, Mr. Gabriel noted
DNAPrint Genomics' well-established position concerning privacy for those
taking DNA tests to determine their ancestry. "We protect information (we
get) from individuals and don't use it in any other way," he said. "If (our
customers) want it destroyed, we destroy it. It's not ours or anyone
else's. We believe this very strongly."
DNAPrint applies its proprietary DNA technology in three business segments.
Its pharmacogenomics subsidiary develops test/drug combinations
("theranostics"), which are designed to increase drug efficacy and reduce
side effects. DNAPrint's forensics subsidiary applies its DNAWitness™
technology for law enforcement agencies and criminal investigations, and
the Company's genealogy subsidiary markets its AncestrybyDNA family of
products to help people explore their family heritage.

and Pharmacogenomics services are also offered externally to
biopharmaceutical companies. The Company's first theranostic product is
PT-401, a "Super EPO" (erythropoietin) dimer protein drug for treatment of
anemia in renal dialysis patients (with end stage renal disease).
Preclinical and clinical development of all the Company's drug candidates

tools when a DNA sample is deteriorated or compromised or other DNA testing
fails to yield acceptable results.
