Reouven Berdugo, Israel Defense Forces Genomic Laboratory for Casualty Identification director, mixes a stock tube used during the Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) library preparation procedure, in the Armed Forces DNA Identification Laboratory of the Armed Forces Medical Examiner System at Dover Air Force Base, Delaware, Nov. 20, 2025. SNPs is a new Next Generation DNA Sequencing that allows distant family members, not just close or maternally related individuals, to be used for kinship analysis. This allows for the comparison of samples of relatives as distant as the fourth degree. Berdugo and his colleague were at AFDIL to gain insight into the SNPs process to help determine the identity of individuals using highly degraded samples recovered from past conflicts.
