Abstract: A computer-implemented method for processing electropherograms provided through a communications network from one or more forensic field test devices to a central communications hub, wherein the forensic field test devices are configured to perform a biological assay analysis, the method implemented using one or more processors programmed with instruction to implement the method comprising receiving, at the central communications hub, one or more electropherograms transmitted through the communication network from the forensic field test devices; scoring each electropherogram based on one or more criteria; placing the one or more electropherograms in a queue for review; matching at least a subset of the electropherograms with each of one or more service providers; based on the matching, transmitting at least the subset to the one or more of the service providers for review; receiving reviewed electropherograms from the one or more service providers; and performing forensic analysis using the reviewed electrop

Abstract: A command center includes at least one network communications interface configured for two-way communications with a plurality of sites remote from the command center and at least one display screen and user interface. Each of the plurality of sites includes at least one forensic field test device configured to identify individuals using DNA samples from the individuals. The display screen and user interface are configured to depict aspects of forensic field test devices of the plurality of sites, wherein the aspects include a site identifier for each of the forensic field test devices and one or more additional aspects.

Abstract: A method for processing biopolymer arrays and apparatus and computer program products for executing the method. The method may include reading a different array identifier for each biopolymer array from a tag associated with that array. At least some of the biopolymer arrays are read and results from each read array saved in a memory linked with the read identifier for that array. Different communication addresses and a selection of an array identifier for each, are received. For at least some of the arrays, the saved results for each are matched with one of the different communication addresses using the identifier, and the saved results transmitted for those arrays to the matched different communication addresses. A method of processing data from the reading of biopolymer arrays is also provided.

Abstract: A method and system for quantifying and correcting spatial-intensity trends for each channel of a microarray data set having one or more channels. The method and system of one embodiment of the present invention selects a set of features from each channel of the microarray data set. Based on the selected set of features, a surface is used to determine the intensities for all features in each channel of the microarray data set. Spatial-intensity trends within the microarray data set are quantified, based on the surface to the intensities for each channel of the microarray data set. After the surface has been determined, the spatial-intensity trend can be removed from the microarray data set.

Abstract: A event-driven portable data bus message logger includes an event message receiver for receiving an event message including an event field, an event message storage operably connected to the event message receiver for storing the event message, a data bus message receiver for receiving data bus messages including a data field and a data checksum, a comparator for comparing a current dat field of a current data bus message to the event field; and a trigger operably connected to the comparator for storing the current data bus message, a preceding data bus message, and a subsequent data bus message in a snapshot storage if the current data field is substantially similar to the event field.
