| Help & Information On DNA Testing | | | | These days, genetic testing are done using DNA |
| A DNA test is done to get vital facts or information | | | | analysis to test for various illness, diseases, ancestry |
| about a crime, to prove the innocence and guilt of | | | | and many other things. Genetic test is the DNA |
| someone or trace family ancestry. DNA is used in | | | | analysis from the human body. In our DNA, there are |
| paternity testing and genetic testing as well. Lets | | | | various strands of code relating to hair color, height, |
| cover how DNA is useful across different strata. | | | | eye color and of other related parts. It also consists |
| DNA and Forensic Science | | | | of information related with illness and disease. Genetic |
| In forensic science, DNA fingerprinting is used widely. | | | | tests can be performed before or after birth. In case |
| It is used to find the match of the suspect of a | | | | of a genetic test before birth, the doctor takes |
| crime using the sample of semen, saliva, blood, hair | | | | some fluid from the mother's fetus or do a CVS to |
| etc. There are different methods to do DNA | | | | have material from placenta containing the genetic |
| fingerprinting. These methods are amplified fragment | | | | information. For genetic testing after birth, this is |
| length polymorphism (AmpFLP), short tandem | | | | done using blood sample or by taking swab from the |
| repeats (STR), polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and | | | | inside of the cheek. Some segments of the DNA do |
| RFLP analysis. DNA fingerprinting also helps to | | | | not change and it passes from generation to |
| understand the pattern of human beings from the | | | | generation. This helps in paternity testing and also to |
| pre historic times. | | | | determine earlier ancestry. |
| DNA and Paternity Test | | | | DNA testing centers |
| The DNA paternity test is done to prove whether a | | | | There are different DNA testing centers that provide |
| child is the daughter or son of a person by making a | | | | testing information. They provide DNA analysis and |
| comparison of the DNA of both the parents. There | | | | other testing service like DNA banking and paternity |
| are different companies that provide services for | | | | testing. Testing centers also provide counselings for |
| paternity testing. Generally, there are three kinds of | | | | biological relationships research. Theses centers |
| testing companies that offer the test. The first kind | | | | process the DNA samples in accredited laboratories |
| are those companies which specialize in testing and | | | | and give highly accurate results. Childsafetyaid, |
| have their own testing lab to perform the test. In | | | | GeneTree, Atlanta DNA center Inc. and American |
| the second category, there are those companies | | | | testing center of DNA are some of the popular DNA |
| that provide service of others like a broker. In the | | | | testing centers. |
| third category, there are laboratories which perform | | | | Thus, it can be rightly said that DNA testing and its |
| the paternity test as a side job. | | | | benefits permeates every strata of life because of |
| DNA and Genetic Disorders | | | | its accuracy and clarity. |
