Paternity DNA Testing
DNA paternity testing sometimes called parentage testing uses DNA (the biological basis of inheritance) to prove or disprove the relationship between a child and an alleged father.
In a DNA paternity test, DNA samples are taken from the child and the alleged father, and the mother if she’s available. The best samples to take from a dead body for DNA testing are blood, tissue or hair roots. If the body is decomposed, the best samples are long bones such as the humerus or femur, and or teeth.
The DNA purified and prepared for testing with a battery of at least 16 DNA markers, producing a genetic profile for each tested individual. The child’s profile is compared with the profiles of the mother and alleged father to confirm that he or she has inherited DNA from the alleged father. Then perform statistical analysis to calculate the Probability of Paternity.
