WHAT IS PATERNITY TESTING?

A Paternity DNA Test can determine whether or not the tested man is the biological father of the child in question. In our case, this procedure involves collecting and comparing the DNA found inside the cheek cells taken from a sample of saliva from both the child and the suspected father.

This DNA is a unique genetic fingerprint that comprises every persons genes and chromosomes. Both parents pass on half of his and her DNA to the baby. This genetic code, or DNA, is a shared mix of only the mother’s and father’s DNA. By collecting and examining a small sample of DNA from everyone involved, a DNA paternity test can confirm or disprove that the man in question is indeed the biological father of a child.
