Parentage
testing with the highest degree of accuracy requires testing the
father, child and mother. Why test the mother? Without knowing the mother's
DNA pattern, certain statistical assumptions must be made, and the testing is
less accurate. One STR allele is inherited from each parent.
For
each STR system two alleles are identified, and the probability that this is
the true biological parent can be readily calculated. The mother's DNA is subtracted
from the child's DNA pattern. What remains is a very specific DNA pattern that
was contributed by the biological father. |

rape resulting in pregnancy. We have extensive experience, working with prosecutors,
providing full service STR DNA testing, genetic evaluation, reporting and court-testimony. ants. |

same kind of tests can be used to determine paternity, maternity, or sibship
even when the parents may not be available for testing. More complex genetic
relationships such as aunt-niece, uncle-nephew, grandparents, can also be
determined from the techniques we utilize at DNA
