DNA Testing Can Save Lives Los Angeles DNA testing has many applications, some of them crucial to the life and safety of the individuals involved. Health matters present one area that may require the clear establishment of relation between donors and the recipients of vital organs. Other concerns involve cases of public safety connected to criminal paternity. A child that was produced during episodes of abuse can be tested by the courts and the results may be submitted as evidence if the defendant's paternity is established.

The results of Los Angeles DNA testing are indisputable when playing a role in official matters. Home kits aren't admissible for findings that are presented to the court, however. To gather concrete evidence of relation, a photo ID is often required for most instances involving criminal prosecution, and fingerprinting may be captured with a photo to document you or the court-ordered party's appearance.

DNA Testing Is Accurate Inside the nucleus of each of our body's cells are chromosome pairs containing our DNA. This DNA is like a blueprint or map of our bodies. One chromosome each of the pairing in the middle of the nucleus is passed to a child from each biological parent. Los Angeles DNA testing looks for the variables that indicate heritage.

There was a time where DNA tests were costly and less pin-pointed, but much progress over the years has produced an exact science. At least 30 percent of the children born in the US do not grow up in homes with their fathers. With DNA testing, fathers can be correctly identified for peace of mind, retrieval of child support, proof of non-parentage, and siblingship. In testing for Native American heritage, we can analyze the father or mother's line for a Native ancestor. Distinct haplogroups can pinpoint descendants. These tests cannot grant automatic inclusion in a tribe, but they're useful in genealogy.

You can also test for all ancestors with Native ancestry, but it is less precise. Asian heritage that emerges in a test's results could indicate Native Americans that left Asia and established roots here. If you have direct Asian relatives, however, the test results that aren't male or female-specific might not tie you directly to a Native American tribe.

DNA Testing Doesn't Require Blood Our facilities and home kits offer testing that can collect genetic information on a number materials that have made contact with bodily fluids like saliva, blood, semen, nasal residue, and even earwax. Skin and tissue can be gathered from a number surfaces, as well, and hair and nails can also provide identifying genetic information.
Typically, a buccal swab (mouth swab) is all that's needed, but when a client can't provide it, Los Angeles DNA testing can collect it from belongings with clear accuracy.

And, our service isn't only local; it's available all over the world. If you need someone tested that lives outside of the US, we're still able to provide the service.
