A DNA test is done so that it can establish the relationship between a possible father and the child. In case you are have doubts whether the said child is your biological child then the best thing to do is to perform a DNA test and get to know the paternity of that particular child. Each and every person has got unique fingerprint and this is the reason why DNA test is very reliable. If the child is your biological child then the child shares 50% with their biological mother and 50% with the biological father. The DNA test will be able to compare the DNA of the said father and the mother to determine whether the two are likely to share father/ child biological relationship. The following are things you need to know when doing a DNA test.
You need to know how the DNA paternity test is performed. Knowing how the DNA test is performed is very important. The paternity test comes from the participant’s cheeks cells and it is collected using a simple painless swab. Every person is supposed to be provided with four swabs and rub in the inside of the side using the tip each at a time to be bel to collect the DNA and adult can help the child do the swab. The swabs are then placed in paper envelops which allow the organic materials on the swab to breath and prevent contamination while being taken to the lab. In some cases blood sample can also be used to take a DNA paternity testing.
How long does it take is another important thing you need to know. You need to be aware of how long you can wait for the paternity results to be released. The paternity can take around two days for accurate results. This is the only way you will be sure that the results given to you are accurate and they are able to do this by dividing into two teams and this way you aware sure that the results provided are accurate. This is done because the results can be used in court or foe immigration purposes and thus they need to be very accurate.
It is good to know how to interpret the results. Knowing how the results are interpreted is equally important because you will be satisfied that you have seen the results by yourself. There is a legal language that is allowed when presenting the report so that the participants can be bale to interpret with ease. If the man is considered the biological father of the child then the statement will say that the alleged father is not excluded as the biological father of the tested child meaning that he cannot be ruled out and is considered to be the biological father of the child. If he is not the father then the statement will say that the alleged father is excluded as the biological father of the tested child which means he is not the biological father of the child.
