DNA testing has revolutionized the way we understand genetics, paternity, and ancestry, providing invaluable insights into our biological connections. This guide explores four popular DNA tests offered by Precise DNA Testing:
Non-Invasive Prenatal Paternity Testing,
Standard Trio Paternity Test,
Father/Child Only Paternity Test, and
Maternity Testing.
Each section will cover what these tests are, why you might need them, how they're conducted, and the quick turnaround time for results.
Non-Invasive Prenatal Paternity (NIPP) Test
Test Overview
The Non-Invasive Prenatal Paternity Test is a revolutionary method that allows paternity to be determined safely during pregnancy. It involves a simple blood draw from the mother and a buccal swab from the alleged father. Utilizing advanced Next Generation Sequencing technology, this test examines over 2,688 SNP markers to accurately establish paternity.
How It Works
The test separates fetal DNA from the mother's blood as early as the 7th week of pregnancy. Precise DNA Testing’s proprietary technology then creates a DNA profile for the fetus and compares it with the alleged father’s profile.
Benefits
- No need for ultrasound
- Safe for both mother and unborn child
- Results in 5 days once sample submitted
Who Needs This Test?
This test is crucial for mothers and alleged fathers seeking early paternity confirmation.
Standard Trio Paternity Test
Test Overview
The Standard Trio Paternity Test is designed to establish paternity by comparing the DNA of a child with that of the alleged father and the mother. This trio configuration enhances the accuracy of the test, making it a preferred method in legal contexts where paternity needs to be irrefutably established. The test examines specific genetic markers that are passed from parents to their offspring to confirm or deny biological relationships, providing a clear, genetic picture of familial connections.
How It Works
Samples from the mother, child, and alleged father are compared to confirm which genes the child inherited from each parent.
Who Needs This Test?
Ideal for families seeking to establish paternity for legal reasons, such as child support or inheritance claims.
Turnaround Time
Receive results in just 3-5 business days, with a next-day express service option.
Father/Child Only Paternity Test
Test Overview
The Motherless Paternity Test is utilized to determine the biological relationship between a male individual and a child without the need for the mother's DNA. This test focuses on the comparison of significant genetic markers between the child and the alleged father to ascertain paternity. It is particularly useful in situations where the mother is unavailable or unwilling to participate in the test, providing crucial information for personal knowledge or legal purposes.
How It Works
DNA samples from the father and child are analyzed to see if there is a match. The samples are obtained by obtaining cheek swab samples from the father and child.
Who Needs This Test?
Suitable for those who cannot involve the mother in testing but want to confirm a father-child biological relationship.
Turnaround Time
Results are available in 3-5 business days, with an option for expedited service.
Maternity Test
Test Overview
A Maternity Test is conducted to confirm the biological relationship between a mother and a child. This test is critical in situations like confirming familial relationships in adoption cases or verifying biological ties in immigration procedures. By comparing the DNA profiles of the mother and the child, the test can conclusively determine if the child biologically descends from the alleged mother, thus providing essential evidence in legal and personal scenarios.
How It Works
DNA from the mother and child is compared to confirm if they share genetic links.
Who Needs This Test?
Essential for verifying a mother-child relationship in legal scenarios like immigration or custody disputes.
Turnaround Time
Results are delivered within 3-5 business days.
