Press Release Body: The genesis of the DNA test

Back in the 1700s, the best way to determine paternity was by a good hard look and
the child, followed by a good hard look at the father. Enough coincidences and maybe
a relationship could be proposed. A hundred years later, eye color was discovered to
be a paternity identifier. This theory has had its flaws exposed because of recent
DNA advances. We now know that eye color is determined by at least six alleles, or
genetic markers. Paternity testing has become a lot easier and affordable over the
past few years due to advances in DNA science. Although an estimated 200,000 DNA
tests are conducted each year by states needing to sort child-support and welfare
issues, few people are willing to conduct their own at-home paternity test. They
don\'t realize the simplicity and convenience of an at-home paternity test.

How does a home DNA test work?

Paternity testing requires a painless sample from both the child and possible
father. Even without a sample from the mother, DNA paternity test results are up to
99.9999% accurate-that\'s one-in-a-million odds your results are incorrect.

Because of the discomfort of drawing blood from a child in order to get a sample,
buccal (mouth) swabs are being accepted as an alternative. By gently massaging the
inside of the child\'s mouth, cheek cells are collected. These cells are then sent to
the lab for testing. Labs analyze up to sixteen genetic markers of the child and
match them against the markers of the alleged father. Because each of us receives
half our genetic markers from each parent, the results of DNA paternity testing are
still accurate without the DNA information of the mother.

What else can a DNA test do?
DNA kits can also be used to analyze siblingship, establish cousin or grandparent
relationships, determine twin zygosity (i.e. whether twins are fraternal or
identical), identify ancestral origin, assure parents they left the hospital with
the right baby, and most important, provide information for immigration files. In
many countries like UAE, paternity report is not accepted for any legal purpose;
otherwise it's another use of DNA Testing in various countries.
