The sample contains cells, and most of the cells in our body contain a full set of genetic information in the form of DNA. A person's DNA represents a genetic blueprint and, like a fingerprint, it is unique to each individual.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the laboratory, the DNA is extracted from the cell and specific regions of the DNA are amplified by a process known as PCR (polymerase chain reaction). The test analyzes 16 to 27 specific regions called short tandem repeats (STRs) — highly variable regions found throughout the genome that provide an accurate way to confirm or refute biological relationships.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhenever the parent(s) in question are available for testing, the DNA Paternity Test or DNA Maternity Test is recommended over the DNA Sibling Test. However, in situations where the alleged parents are missing or deceased, the DNA Sibling Test provides valuable insights into potential sibling connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBenefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePainless mouth swabs for easy sample collection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvery DNA test is double-tested in our AABB, ISO 17025, CLIA, CAP accredited facility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResults in 1–2 business days upon sample receipt at the lab\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e24\/7 online test status tracking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree return shipping to the lab\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscreet online results for added privacy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAppropriate for individuals of any age, including newborns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrivate and confidential\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the DNA Sibling Test determine full siblings vs. half siblings?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes.
