History
IdentiGEN was founded in 1996 as a spin-out from research conducted at
Trinity College, Dublin.[1] Among the first to apply molecular genetic techniques to source-verify meat products, the company pioneered the use of this technology to improve food traceability and supply chain transparency. It differs from track and trace
systems that rely on metadata and packaging ID.
