Claim 0:
1. A method of characterizing a urine sample from a subject, the method comprising:
(a) providing a urine sample from a subject;
(b) determining one or more of the light absorption, luminescence, phosphorescence, fluorescence, and chemiluminescence of the urine sample at two or more wavelengths of light;
(c) applying one or more eigenvectors derived from a principle component algorithm to a standardized dataset derived from the determined light absorption, luminescence, phosphorescence, fluorescence, and chemiluminescence of the urine sample to generate a Urine Characterization Index (UCI) comprising one or more values for corresponding principle component(s);
(d) characterizing a urine sample as a natural urine sample based on the UCI; and
(e) performing genetic analysis of genetic material present in the urine sample.
