Mitotyping Powerpoint presentations

Mitotyping specializes in crime scene hairs, missing persons, genealogical investigation, adoption maternity, historical cases, cold cases, ancient DNA, and post-conviction evaluation. Each sample is individually analyzed.

Mitotyping Technologies was recently filmed for episodes of Cold Case Files, Forensic Files, and Mystery Hunters. Mystery Hunters is a Canadian childrens' program; this episode covered the mystery of Anna Anderson, claimant to the Romanov family name.
