| Paternity Testing | Genetic Health Screening |
|---|---|
| This compares the DNA of a child to a potential father to determine biological relationships. Some markers may inherited from the father. | This test analyses specific genes or regions of your DNA known to be related to an increased risk for certain health conditions. |
Sample Collection: First we need a sample, which usually involves collecting a swab sample from the inside of your cheek or saliva in a small tube.
DNA Extraction: The lab extracts your DNA from the collected sample. DNA is the genetic material found in nearly every cell of your body.
Genetic Analysis: In the lab, technicians analyse your DNA using various techniques, depending on the type of test being performed (paternity test, ancestry testing).
Processing: Machines analyse the genetic data, looking for specific markers or variations in your DNA that hold clues about your heritage or health predispositions.
Results: Based on the analysis, a report is generated that interprets your DNA information according to the type of test.
