What is equine codis?

Equine CODIS is a proven low-cost tool of identification for the Horse and is based upon the same process as the FBI's own CODIS crime laboratory. The CODIS system (Combined DNA Information Systems) enables crime-fighters nationally and internationally to compare DNA profiles and information. The Equine CODIS system identifies the Horse to an accuracy of 99.999999999999 percent and is available from the Developer "Raymond Sigler" at Wall Street Detectives in Los Angeles, California. The Laboratory for Equine CODIS is Texas A&M College in College Park, Texas.
