Q. How does home DNA testing work? Can you really trust a Home DNA test to be as accurate as one performed in a doctor’s office?

A. Yes. DNA testing is not as complicated as you might think. Understanding how the collection process and testing works may help you decide if this is the right option for you. DNA is almost identical between all people. We all share 99.99% of the same DNA, however, portions of the genetic makeup can vary from person to person (like a fingerprint).

Everyone receives half of their genetic makeup from their mother and half from their father. During DNA testing, the unique characteristics of DNA from the child and mother are compared. Those characteristics that do not overlap from child to mother then must have been inherited from the father. When comparing DNA between the child and potential father, if these characteristics match up, analysts can determine the likelihood that the man is the biological father.

Our DNA testing kits are easy to use, done with a simple cheek swab, and guarantee 99.99% accuracy. We test 24 or 46 DNA (Genetic) Markers depending on the type of test, the highest in the industry!
