The applications for DNA Testing have become very diversified as the science advances. From forensics to the familiar paternity test, this form of unique identification has grown to the point that where it has given comfort to many people in a surprising number of areas.

Immigration testing is another venue where DNA Testing has proven its worth. As the population shifts and more and more people from every corner of the globe decide to move to better their lives for one reason or the other, Immigration testing has become a prerequisite with many Embassies when applicants seek to bring relatives with them from one country to the next.

Forensic Evidence Screening

Strict chain of custody and analytical methods geared toward detail determines the strength of an analytical report.  Our testing lab’s advanced evidence screening laboratory is staffed with very experienced forensic scientists and equipped with an arsenal of validated techniques and technologies that afford rigorous and comprehensive screening.  Our testing lab has invested in first class instrumentation, including digital video and photography imaging systems for both macroscopic and microscopic evidence documentation.

YSTR Filer

Y-STR analysis is used for a variety of applications, from ancestral genealogy to missing persons and the forensic identification of male DNA from sexual assault cases.  Variability allows discrimination among individuals in a population, which is useful for identification in forensic DNA, paternity DNA and ancestral DNA studies

Permanent residents, also known as “green-card holders”, may petition (ask the USCIS for permission) to bring their unmarried children, husband, or wife into the United States, whereas citizens can petition on behalf of a spouse, a parent, children or siblings.

If for any of the scenarios above (except for a wife or husband) there is insufficient documentation of a biological relationship, the USCIS may request proof of any claimed biological relationship in the form of a DNA test to confirm that a biological relationship exists.  The DNA test requested may take one of the following forms:  a paternity test; a maternity test, or a siblingship test often collectively referred to as “immigration DNA testing“  .Although USCIS is requesting the testing, it does not mean that they will cover the cost of immigration DNA testing.  The person making the petition (the petitioner) or the beneficiary (the person who will immigrate to the U.S.) is responsible for payment of fees for the test.  Usually the embassy / consulate will provide a list of approved doctors (”panel doctors”) from which the petitioner may select or provide his/her preference from that list to the company they have selected to do their relationship testing.

A petitioner or his beneficiary can expect to pay the fees to have the DNA testing done.  These fees are for the DNA test itself, their (petitioner and beneficiary) sample collection, and three-way shipping: (1) kit(s) to Embassy or Collection site in the foreign country; (2) return shipment of the samples from the foreign collection site to the laboratory in the U.S.; and (3) shipment of the report and requested documentation back to the requesting Embassy / Consulate.  The procedures may be outlined as follows:

• Send sample collection kit(s) to the foreign Embassy or Collection site
• DNA Collection of Petitioner
• DNA Collection of Beneficiary
• Return Shipment of Samples from Foreign Country to our lab
• Ship Final Report to requesting Consulate / Embassy

At Paternity Express, our testing labs are AABB accredited laboratories with over 35 years of collective experience, and they have processed hundreds of thousands of relationship tests or “immigration DNA tests”.

If you’ve every wondered how far back your family tree goes beyond the pictures and relatives you’ve got now, then Ancestry DNA Testing could provide you with the results that you’re looking for.

The latest breakthroughs in the area of this particular manner of DNA testing have gone well beyond the family allegiances that the common paternity test have given us to reveal a past that goes farther back than most of us could have imagined. With the methods that are available today, science can trace your ancestry as far back as 150,000 years.

Of course these new scientific advances have made it possible for everyone to have an improved understanding of the history behind our entire race and here at paternityexpress.com, we’re able to offer you your own personal part of that history with our ability to trace your own family back farther than you might have though possible.

Remember that genealogy is one of the fastest growing hobbies in North America and to that end there are more and more people interested in finding the best DNA Testing facilities that can give them a rounded picture of their ancestry.

Genetic reconstruction is used to determine if a child is related to an alleged father by using two or more of the alleged father’s relatives in the comparison.  A series of DNA tests are conducted in order to make this determination.  It is an indirect way to determine relationship when the alleged father is unavailable to donate his own samples for testing.  Results from generic reconstruction DNA testing can be used in many ways, most prominent of which is proof of Social Security benefits, inheritance claims, and other trust and estates matters.

How is this achieved?

The child’s DNA profile is compared with the family members DNA profiles.  The relatives should be close blood relatives of the alleged father (e.g., brother, sister, mother or father of the alleged father).  For genetic reconstruction, although every person’s DNA profile is unique, close relations will share major similarities of their DNA profiles because DNA is hereditary.  Because reconstruction is complex, the mother of the child is required to participate in the testing.  If she is not available to give her sample, then three or more of the alleged father’s close relatives should participate.  Genetic reconstruction is another way to achieve paternity testing; therefore, avuncular testing and grandparentage testing all fall under the genetic reconstruction umbrella.

It is unfortunate that our society have had come to this, but in an effort to protect our children, we have had to think of twenty-first century ideas to protect them:  enter, child safety DNA testing.  Just what is child-safety DNA testing?  It is the information you can obtain and store from a Child DNA ID Kit prior to a tragic event which can be priceless.  This unique kit allows you to store all of your child’s important identification information in one place for easy access. Collecting your child’s DNA is a simple, painless cheap DNA process.  It is just like a paternity test collection, only there is no father involved; only the child participates.  The DNA Identification Kit consists of the following:

• DNA collection and storage material
• Fingerprint ink strip
• Child identification card
• Contact card for your emergency phone numbers
• Dental chart filled out by you or your child’s dentist
• Chart to detail descriptive identification marks
• Lists of tips to help keep your child safe

Child Safety Identification Kit

Ever seen those amber alerts? Going through a messy divorce?  Have fear of your child being taken even by an unauthorized spouse, and / or unauthorized family member or others?  Fear your child becoming lost? You can have immediate usable information which may be provided to the authorities simply by taking your child’s safety one step further, through DNA profiling of your child.  A Child Safety Identification Kit (CSI Kit) provides everything you need to collect and have this information immediately available to you all in one place.  With a DNA profile you have the Ultimate 21st Century Family Protection.  You will be issued a certificate with your child’s picture and the child’s DNA profile.  You will be assured when you know you have protection that is:

• Better than a Birth Certificate
• More Accurate than a Fingerprint

• The International Standard
• Confidential, Painless, Affordable

Not all cheap paternity tests are created equal.  Everyone wants to pay as little as possible for the most they can get; we all want the most we can get for our buck.  However when it comes to cheap DNA testing, a paternity test that is unbelievably cheap (i.e., under a hundred dollars) may prove to be more expensive to you in the long run. The question you need to ask is: are these tests performed using the industry standard / guidelines for relationship testing? These tests are inadmissible (do not hold up) in court; because they were performed using less than acceptable industry standards; and they are usually self collected.   Why is this?  These tests generally unreliable because the testing may have been done outside industry standards; and they may or may not have been performed by inexperienced staff which could lead to results that are interpreted incorrectly thus leading to false results.  These tests are usually self collected (you or someone you know do the collection) and no chain of custody is established.  If you require a paternity test for any legal matter, additional testing would have to be done, which would involve additional fees.  Isn’t it much better to pay only once for something this important?  So, when you need paternity testing, make sure that cheap is not only cheap, but also performed at acceptable industry standards.

DNA Paternity Testing is quickly becoming the norm in everyday life.  If your spouse is cheating you can order up an infidelity test which will answer questions on any article of clothing or other material you provide, and if you provide your DNA sample, we will tell you whether or not you were the donor of any samples you provide.  Is your child’s father refusing to take responsibility, you can order up a paternity test. And even when he is unavailable (death, incarceration, or just missing in action); if there is doubt or dispute of a child’s paternity, you can order up an avuncular test using his brother or sister; or a grandparentage test using one or both of the grandparents.  Grouped together, or individually these tests all fall under relationship testing.

Even the USCIS seems to be getting in on the action; they are requesting more and more that people prove their biological relationships once one is claimed.  They have also gone ahead and made arrangements with sample collectors, clinics and/or doctors in the various countries and whenever they require DNA testing of a petitioner, they will provide them with a list of the approved doctors, clinics or collectors in the relevant country.  This list of collectors, clinics and/or doctors is the “list of approved panel doctors” and although the petitioner and his or her beneficiary must pay for the DNA testing requested, they are responsible for payment of any and all fees incurred in obtaining DNA testing.

Because your individual paternity test case is unique to you, it is private and confidential, and most companies handle DNA cases individually, and confidentially.  Paternity Express recognizes that your case is unique and should be handled with the utmost confidentiality; the procedure is private and discreet and carried out at our laboratory.

Also, in infidelity DNA testing cases, it is likely that the spouse ordering the testing may confront the cheating spouse if it turns out that indeed that spouse has been cheating.  However, the lab will never release test results about any DNA testing whatsoever, without first obtaining written, notarized, authorization for the release of their testing; and that release would be limited to the specific occasion, and to the individual or entity to which the specific occasion referred.  If another release is necessary, the ordering person would have to provide yet another release.  So, you see, unless the person involved in the DNA testing authorizes the release of their test to another person, your test results will be known to the testing lab only. 

 The only exception to this rule is immigration testing where the test subject provides a third party written request from a consulate / immigration / Homeland Security for specific relationship DNA testing, whereby the immigration needs th result as proof of the claimed relationship.  The AABB lab is obligated to turn over directly from itself to the requesting branch immigration the results of a particular DNA test it requested.  If the requested test is not turned over in the time alloted (most immigration requests gives the petitioner a set time to get the report back to them) then they immigration may proceed to make its decision without the test.  Most people pay strict attention to their “deadline” date and our labs are well aware of this so turnaround time is speedy, usual two to three business days, and the report is sent directly to the requesting branch of immigration / consulate / Homeland Security.  It is imperative that the client provide the “immigration letter” requesting a DNA test, as this determines the speed with which their testing is done. 

Whichever DNA testing you need Paternity Express can provide that service at a reasonable rate wherever in the world you are located.

Today’s forensic arsenal would not be complete without the advances that medical science has made in the field of DNA Testing and beyond the implications for modern crime work, the Paternity Test has also become a mainstay of the useful tools that have been derived from this science.

This Paternity Test is the most common form of testing that’s available and as such there are various applications that the results are used for. Determining the biological relationship between a man and a child is the most familiar application, and these results are generally determined by an in home test, or the other variety that’s legally admissible called the Chain of Custody COC method.

With the more formal COC test, there’s a need for the test to be carried out under the best laboratory conditions by the best company with the highest standard. When these requirements are necessary, the choice for the most accurate paternity test is paternityexpress.com. Their AABB-approved testing methods are the ones that guarantee 99.9% accuracy
