DNA & GENDER REVEAL TESTING

Paternity tests can be conducted using various samples, including buccal swabs (cheek swabs) or blood samples from the alleged father and the child. Buccal swabs are painless and non-invasive, making them the preferred method in most cases, especially for children. 

Paternity tests have a high degree of accuracy, typically providing conclusive results with probabilities exceeding 99.9% for inclusion (when the alleged father is the biological father) and 0% for exclusion (when the alleged father is not the biological father) 

There are two types of paternity tests: legal and non-legal. Legal tests are admissible in court and require strict chain-of-custody procedures to ensure sample integrity. Legal paternity test results can be used for many things, including (but not limited to):

• Adoption
• Child Support
• Immigration
• Birth Certificates
• Court Orders
• Tax Forms
• Child Custody
• Estate Settlements
• Wills

Non-legal tests are for personal knowledge and do not follow the same stringent requirements as legal tests. 

DNA testing allows people to uncover family relationships and helps adopted individuals find their birth families.

With the help of DNA testing, it is possible to identify and distinguish individuals. It can be used for DNA banking, DNA profiling, and child identification services. 

This type of DNA testing is used to uncover family history. It can tell you more about your ancestors, where they came from, and determine your ancestors’ countries of origin. It will also help identify Native American lineage, and the results can be used to support tribal enrollment or disenrollment cases. 

DNA testing is also often used to determine family relationships between individuals. Our family relationship tests include the following:

• Paternity (identifying whether a tested man is a biological father of a tested child), 
• Maternity (whether a tested woman is a biological mother of a tested child), grandparentage (identifying the relationship between a child and the parents of the alleged father), 
• Single grandparentage (identifying the relationship between a tested child and a single grandparent), 
• Genetic reconstruction (identifying the relationship between a child and the relatives of the alleged father), 
• Siblingship (testing two children to identify whether they share biological parents), 
• Twin zygosity (distinguishing whether twins are identical or fraternal), and 
• Paternal or maternal lineage (whether two or more individuals are related through a paternal or maternal line).
