Services
DNA testing has become synonymous with paternity testing and divorce proceedings. DNA paternity testing examines several pairs of genetic markers in order to determine the probability of paternity of a child. The child inherits one marker from the mother and one from the father in each pair of the analyzed markers. If it is proven that the alleged father did not contribute half of the child's DNA, he is excluded as the biological father. Approximately 30% of all paternity tests reveal an "exclusion".

Postmortem paternity testing is often necessary to settle inheritance disputes, welfare cases, social security, and immigration issues. Exhumations of alleged fathers, long since deceased, offer ample biological material to perform DNA testing. Hospital tissue samples, paraffin embedded samples, autopsy remains and embalmed tissue have all been used to establish paternity.

Collection
A simple swab of the mouth is all it takes for Genetic Technologies to provide definitive proof of paternity. The test may be performed at one of our several hundred collection facilities or conducted by private appointment with one of our mobile technicians. For self-testing, Genetic Technologies offers its special DNA Identification, Collection and Storage Kit which enables the user to easily provide a sample specimen and mail it in to our laboratory. It offers foolproof identification that is better than fingerprinting.

Genetic Technologies is an innovative and technologically superior, accredited human identification laboratory. The same exacting standards, equipment, and protocols we follow in our forensic analyses are utilized in each paternity case.

Our paternity testing is performed in strict accordance with the Uniform Parentage Act for both the public and private sector.
