DNA Analysis Laboratory The laboratory conducts research on DNA testing and population genetics. It offers DNA testing services (parentage, human identification, etc.).

The UP-NSRI DNA Analysis Laboratory is mandated to establish the scientific framework of forensic DNA technology in the Philippines. The laboratory is also equipped to conduct researches on the genetic diversity of Filipinos to study population history and evolution. HISTORY
On May 16, 1996, the MOA between the University of the Philippines and the Presidential Anti-Crime Commission (PACC), represented by the Vice-President Joseph E. Estrada to establish the DNA Analysis Laboratory, was signed. The construction of the UP-NSRI-DAL and installation of equipment were completed in December 1997. EQUIPMENT and INFRASTRUCTURE
The laboratory houses state-of-the-art equipment for DNA analysis. The infrastructure is designed to streamline casework and research for a more efficient, timely and cost-effective approach to any problem. HIGHLIGHT: The Rule on DNA Evidence
The laboratory assisted in formulating the scientific framework of the Rule on DNA Evidence, promulgated on October 15, 2007. This Rule guides Philippine courts of law on the admissibility and probative value of DNA evidence.

Congratulations to the interns from the University of the Philippines Manila, Sam and Dhenz, and Bicol University, Chynna, Daisuki, and Fritzy, for completing their internship at the DNA Analysis Laboratory (DAL). Their internship had them involved in the work of the DAL projects, namely the Filipino Genomes Research Program (FGRP) Project 1 and the Sexual Assault Investigation Kit (SAI.Kit). Their internship culminated with the delivery of their exit presentations on 24 July 2026.

Sam and Dhenz officially completed their internship on 24 July 2026, while Chynna, Daisuki, and Frtizy completed their internship on 29 July 2026.

We wish you all the best for your studies and future endeavors.
