The latest info on DNA testing, Paternity, Infidelity, and Family Relationship DNA testing.
Ever wondered how DNA can reveal family connections like siblings, grandparents, or even distant cousins? Understanding shared DNA percentages offers surprising insights! Whether it’s a paternity test or exploring ties with an aunt or grandparent, we break down how shared DNA can uncover the real story behind each relationship, and why some results overlap more than you’d think.
DNA contains information that determines eye color, hair color, height, and even the size of your nose. In fact, DNA contained in your cells is responsible for these physical attributes and many more. You and your siblings are a slightly different combination of your mother and father’s DNA. This explains why you and your sibling’s physical features resemble a combination of both parents and why your sister or even brother looks more like your mom than you do.
We primarily use simple oral buccal swabs (cheek cell collection) to collect samples for our quick easy home and legal DNA tests.
