A DNA test kit can be used at home to
determine the paternity of a child, the sex of an unborn baby,
or the presence of certain genetic factors, which might
predispose one for certain diseases. In the greatest number of
cases, a DNA test kit is used to establish paternity.
Generally,
DNA is obtained by collecting a tiny amount of skin tissue and
saliva from the inside of the cheek. Envelopes are usually
included which need to be labeled to indicate the owner of each
sample. The test is quite simple, and when sent to a reputable
lab, extremely accurate.

DNA Labs
The lab then determines genetic factors, which
either include or exclude relationship. In cases
where paternity needs to be established, most US
courts may allow DNA evidence from a DNA test kit
if all parties participated willingly in the
testing. If such testing does not exist, the court
usually obtains information not from a home DNA
test kit, but from a lab where results can be
assured. |

Form of DNA Testing Kits
Another form of DNA test kit can be used to
determine ancestry. In these cases, people usually
need a DNA test kit that can test the hair of
someone deceased. Since hair rings and locks of
hair were once considered heirlooms, people often
inherit them. Testing the hair of a deceased
person, while evaluating cheek swabs of the living
person, can establish relationship, and may be
helpful in determining ancestors if one is an avid
genealogist. Relationship with ancestors is often
difficult to determine because no remains of the
person are available for testing. Testing might
require exhumation, which is a significant
consideration and may be disallowed by other
family members or by one’s religious beliefs. In
rare cases, exhumation may result in establishing
inheritance to wealth by establishing a degree of
relationship. Usually, because a court needs to
verify documentation when awarding someone with an
inheritance, a recognized lab and not a DNA test
kit is used. |
