Legal DNA Paternity Test
http://www.paternityproof.com/ DNA Paternity Tests are used in 70 different countries and all 50 United States. They provide airtight evidence of when a child’s custody or support is at stake. The proof that’s absolutely necessary in a court of law.
Unlike our home paternity test, the Legal DNA Paternity Test tracks your DNA samples from the time they’re collected at one of our DNA collection sites until the time they arrive in our DNA testing laboratory. That ensures they’re admissible as evidence in a courtroom.
To make the DNA testing process as simple as possible, we arrange for a DNA collection appointment at any one of 3000+ DNA collection sites around the world. You’ll have the DNA test results in 7 business days – typically a fraction of the time it takes a government agency to conduct the same DNA test.
Order your DNA test now and get the airtight evidence you need.

Different Types of DNA
Autosomal STR: STRs are short tandem repeats found in the genetic material (or DNA) that makes up the human genome. Several different STRs, regions that are highly variable in length from individual to individual, have been located and examined. The size of the STR is what scientists look at to help answer questions regarding relatedness. The different sizes of DNA found at these STR regions correspond to, what geneticist call, alleles. These alleles are passed on from parents to offspring. By examining random individuals within a particular population, each allele is found to have a frequency associated with it within that group. It is these frequencies that researchers use to calculate the probabilities of relatedness. GeneTree uses STRs to measure probabilities of paternity, and most other DNA relationship test, including the Y-chromosome Haplotyping.

How DNA is Analyzed
To determine sizes of DNA in a particular region the DNA region is either:
amplified using DNA primers, targeted to the regions, and a DNA polymerase enzyme (PCR method), or
cut with restriction enzymes (RFLP method).
The DNA samples are then ran through a system of capillaries using a chromotography method (called capillary electrophoresis) to resolve sizes. An example of an older procedure called gel electrophoesis is shown in Figure 1 to assist in illustrating the separation effect of chromotography. A computer-generated electropherogram (Figure 2) demonstrates how the DNA sizes can be obtained using a fluorescent detection system. It is similar to reading a barcode. This procedure has replaced the older gel electrophoesis method illustrated in Figure 1.
To visualize the DNA, either:
the primers are labeled before the PCR reaction (PCR method), or
a labeled probe is used to hybridize to the specific region of DNA being examined (RFLP method).
Once the sizes of DNA in the specific regions are determined, they are represented by a universal number (e.g., 9, 10, 11), and referred to as alleles.
Each person should have 2 alleles at each system examined for paternity testing (with exception given to either, a) a person having the same allele presented twice, or b) the possibility of a ’silent’ allele). One allele is passed from the biological father and the other allele is passed from the biological mother.
Each known allele has a determined frequency of occurrence in the general population and among different ethnic groups (Table 1). These frequencies are used to calculate the probabilities of paternity, siblingship, grand-parentage, etc.
If you have any questions regarding this process please let us know and we will be happy to assist you with answering them.

DNA Testing Ancestry or Ethnicity
http://www.paternityproof.com/ Ancestral Origins DNA Tests examine three types of hereditary markers: Autosomal DNA (this line makes up the majority of who we are), Paternal DNA (the Y-chromosome DNA, passed from father to son), and Maternal DNA (the mtDNA, passed from mother to all her children). Not only will you discover the birthplace of your ancestors, but the path they took and their unique discoveries, such as agriculture, language, and tools which set them aside from others as they traveled from continent to continent over the course of human history. It’s your unique anthropological identity, whether you’re of Native American, Northern European, Mediterranean, South Asian, Middle Eastern, East Asian, or of African descent.
DNA testing research on full-blooded indigenous populations from all around the world has led to the discovery of several genetic markers that are unique to specific populations, ethnicity and/or deep ancestral migration patterns. The DNA markers that have very specific modes of inheritance, and which are relatively unique to specific populations, are used to assess ancestral relatedness.
There are 3 types of DNA inheritance patterns that DNA markers follow; the Autosomal DNA line, the paternal DNA line or the maternal DNA line.
The Autosomal DNA line makes up the majority of who we are. It is composed of all the DNA in the cell except the X-chromosome, the Y-chromosome and the mtDNA. You inherit 50% of your autosomal DNA from your mother and 50% from your father.
The Y-chromosome DNA markers are paternally linked. They are passed from father to son.
The mtDNA markers are maternally linked. They are passed from the mother to all of her children. Then, only the female children pass it on to all their children, and etc.
These Ancestral Origin™ DNA tests are most commonly used:
For those that wondered if they are of Native American, Northern European, Mediterranean, South Asian, Middle Eastern, East Asian, or of African descent.
For those that are adopted, or have adopted parents, and are curious about what ancestral heritage they have.
For those that are predominantly African and curious about other ancestry they may have.
For those that want to expand and confirm their family’s historical information.
For those that would like to uncover their personal anthropological history.

DNA Testing Testimonials
Taking Responsibility
“A girl whom I’d dated off and on came to me with the news that I was a dad. I had never had a child in my life before and I began to panic. What to do?!! If true, this would impact my life forever! Before any decision could be made I had to KNOW for sure if the child was actually mine. When I called GeneTree, their staff was friendly and courteous, and offered answers to all of my questions. Once the kit arrived, I followed the simple instructions that came with it and then sent the lab samples back. Now, how easy was that? A few days later, I received a letter from GeneTree with the DNA test results telling me that the child was over 99.99% mine. I can finally look into her eyes and feel at ease knowing that I did the right thing.”

Using DNA to Estimate Ethnic Origins
http://www.paternityproof.com/
The DNA Paternity Testing Center
Los Angeles, CA
Race or ethnic origins are common terms used to differentiate biogeographical population groups. While the notion of race or ethnic origin can be complicated and controversial, the most widely used categories are based on visible traits and self-identification. This is best illustrated by the FBI’s practical utilization of race to characterize the general appearance of suspects.
The ability to infer a suspect’s race or ethnic origin from a DNA sample in a no suspect case can help prioritize an investigation.
Ancestral Lineage Markers
There are two principal types of ancestral lineage markers, paternal and maternal. Paternal lineage markers are located on the Y chromosome while maternal lineage markers are found in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA).
Ancestral lineage markers are passed down from generation to generation without change, except for rare mutational events. Over time, genetically isolated populations develop unique DNA mutations that are specific for that population group. These groups are also known as haplogroups.
Y Chromosome Haplogroups
The Y-chromosome is an extremely powerful indicator of ethnic origin. The lack of recombination within the Y chromosome has resulted in the chronological accumulation of ancient DNA point mutations, or single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), that are associated with population development and the peopling of the world. The entire male population can be classified into 18 major haplogroups, A through R. Additional mutations within each of the major haplogroups further define subclades that typically illustrate more localized distribution reflecting recent human migrations.
Mitochondrial Haplogroups
Mitochondrial DNA is similarly a strong indicator of ethnic origin, although it is not as strong an indicator as the Y chromosome. While the reason is unclear, perhaps this is a result of the historical tendency for males to settle closer to their birthplaces than females.
Worldwide, there are approximately 30 major mitochondrial haplogroups. These major haplogroups can be subdivided into sub-lineages which are often regionally or population specific.
Limitations
With over 500 ancestral origins reported in the 2000 U.S. Census, the United States is often characterized as a cultural melting pot. The 2000 census was the first to allow respondents to select more than one race. Nationwide, approximately 2.4 percent of the U.S. population, over 6.8 million Americans, marked identification with two or more races.
European-American and Asian-American male populations demonstrate relatively low interracial admixture. In sharp contrast, the frequencies of European Y Chromosomes in Native American populations range widely, from 7-89%, depending on geographic location. In African American populations, the European Y Chromosome appears on average at a frequency of 26%. The Hispanic paternal gene pool tends to be a heterogeneous mixture of European, Native American and African Y Chromosomes.
Summary
The Y chromosome is the single most informative genetic marker for ethnic origin. While multi racial individuals can complicate interpretation of Y haplogroups, if used in conjunction with mitochondrial haplogroups, a broader view of a suspect’s ethnic origin can be estimated. Regardless, individuals with mixed ancestral background may not always display the expected physical characteristics. Consequently, results should always be interpreted with some degree of caution.

US Paternity Laws can trace their origins to 18th Century England. Chief Justice of the King’s
Bench, Lord William Murray Mansfield, served from 1756 until his retirement at age 80 in 1788. His
decisions greatly influenced English common law, which remains the basis of law in the United
States today. Sometimes referred to either as the Bastardy Statute or British common law origin,
the Lord Mansfield’s Rule, defines a child born into a marriage to be a product of that marriage.
The husband of the mother is legally bound to support the child as though it were his own. While
use of the Mansfield Rule is falling on disfavor, many states still use this guiding principle. A
summary of individual State’s position on the use of the Mansfield Rule can be found at the US
Social Security Administration. Click Here.
Establishing Paternity
Establishing paternity means being declared the legal father after the child is born. If the parents of
a child were not married when the mother became pregnant or when the child was born, the child
does not have a legal father until paternity is established.
Establishing paternity is important for both the child and the parents. A child is entitled to the sense
of belonging and identity that comes from knowing both parents. Establishing paternity often has an
important emotional and psychological benefit for the child. Also, until there is a determination that
a biological father is the legal father, the child has no right to receive financial support from the
father, to inherit from the father or to obtain insurance, veterans’, social security or other benefits
through the father. Likewise, until paternity is legally established, the biological father has no legal
rights to the child, such as parenting time with the child. Additionally, he has no legal right to
participate in major decisions about the child, such as medical treatment, education or religious
training. Additionally, genetic diseases are inherited, thus knowing your biological ancestry can be
useful in proactive care and transplantation. Paternity laws tend to vary from state to state. Click
here for individual state laws.
Current scientific methods for determining paternity use the power of DNA to achieve highly
accurate results.
DNA results often decide the outcome of the case. It is important to understand the bottom line
results on the paternity test report. All paternity test results and conclusions are founded in
statistics and probabilities. The greater the number of genetic markers examined the greater the
strength of the genetic evidence and hence the final result. Industry wide, paternity tests can be
generated using as few as four markers, to as many as 16 markers, with the latest high resolution
technology. Chromosomal Laboratories uses a 16 marker test that can achieve a probability of
identity of 1 in 40 quintillion, or 1 in 40,000,000,000,000,000,000.
Motherless DNA Paternity Testing
It is generally not necessary to obtain a DNA sample from the biological mother for accurate an
accurate determination of paternity. However, if the mother is available for testing her sample
should be included in the analysis.

DNA Testing for Immigration Purposes
There are a number of mechanisms for lawful entry into the United States. One popular method is for a citizen or lawful permanent resident of the United States to petition for an alien relative with form I-130. United States citizens can petition for their spouses, parents, children or siblings to immigrate to the United States and permanent residents can do so for their spouses and unmarried children.
Normally the applicant uses a combination of birth, marriage, medical and other documents to prove that the applicant and the alleged relative are blood relatives. In most cases there are sufficient written records to prove the relationship and satisfy the requirements of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services or the State Department. If either of those agencies requires more evidence of a biological relationship, they may request a DNA test.

DNA Testing to Verify Relationships
Genetic testing is a useful tool for verifying an alleged biological relationship when no other form of credible evidence is available. The laboratory’s actual analytical procedures are identical to those used in paternity and relationship studies. Chromosomal Laboratories, an AABB accredited laboratory, uses IdentiFiler, a state of the art system that measures 15 independent STR loci to generate highly discriminating results.
Often a petitioner and beneficiary will receive a request for additional evidence from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services office. In most cases there will be an attached instruction sheet that will suggest, but not mandate, the submission of “voluntary DNA testing” to help establish the relationship.

New Florida Law Protects Men Falsely Accused of Paternity
In June of this year Florida passed HB 7151 into law. The new bill permits a petition to set aside determination of paternity or terminate a child support obligation by an alleged father who has proven, through a DNA test that he is not the biological father of a child in the state of Florida.
Previously, under Florida law, a man was required to pay child support until the child’s 18th birthday if it had been legally established that he was the father even if a DNA test at a later date proved he was not the biological father.
The law requires non-custodial parents who want to challenge their child support obligations to file a petition in Florida circuit court. Florida now joins 10 other states that have enacted similar bills to allow men falsely determined to be a child’s father a legal method to determine once and for all if they are the biological parent and thus responsible for paying child support.
Florida providers of DNA testing services will likely see an increase in business as the new law becomes known throughout the state.

Early Gender Test: Boy or Girl?
One of the most exciting outcomes of recent genetic research is the discovery that there is fetal DNA in an expectant mother’s blood as soon as six weeks gestation all the way through to delivery of the child. During pregnancy, small amounts of the baby’s DNA pass into the mother’s blood stream; so with a finger prick from the mother, we can analyze the baby’s DNA. If DNA Early Gender DNA Testfrom a Y-chromosome is detected, we can confidently determine she will have a baby boy. If there is no DNA from a Y-chromosome, we can determine with equal confidence that she will have a girl. It’s that simple.
* Detection as Early as 6 weeks after conception.
* Published Method Demonstrates >99% Accuracy at Predicting Gender (Science Magazine, September 2, 2005).
* Money Back Guarantee if Results are Incorrect.
* At home maternal DNA Collection Kit.
* Early Gender Kit Includes a Pregnancy Test.
* Expedited Shipping, overnight for express cases.
* Quick Results, 3-5 days from receiving samples at the lab.
The DNA Testing Technology:
Samples are analyzed in the lab with a process known as PCR. The classic study validating the PCR method for detecting gender was published in the journal Human Genetics in 2005. Scientists in Italy (Galbiati et al) obtained blood from pregnant women at different stages of pregnancy, as early as 6 weeks pregnant. They identified fetal DNA by PCR. They studied 1,837 women. This included women with previous pregnancies, miscarriages and live births. After the women gave birth, their results were 99% accurate for predicting fetal sex. Note that if the lab detects Y chromosomal DNA in the maternal blood, this is a very certain results suggesting the unborn child is a boy. If the lab did not detect Y chromosomal DNA, it Early Gender Determination DNA Testvery likely indicates the baby is a girl; however, there is a small possibility that there may be very little Y chromosomal DNA present that was below the threshold of detection, indicating that it could still be a boy.
Easy and non-invasive:
Once you order your gender test, a kit will be promptly mailed to you. The test kit comes pre-packed with everything you will need to take a small painless finger prick and send your blood spot to the laboratory, including a prepaid return envelope. Simply drop this in the mail with your blood spot, and you will know the gender of your baby within days.
