Participants for a standard paternity test, called a trio, are the mother, child, and alleged father. The mother’s participation is always encouraged in a paternity test.
A maternity test is performed to confirm the biological relationship between a mother and child—for immigration cases, adoption, or other situations.
Because DNA testing is so powerful, paternity can be determined even when the mother is unwilling or unavailable to be tested.
Paternity can be determined using a simple blood-draw from the mother and a buccal-swab collection from the alleged father, as early as 8 weeks gestation.
A grandparentage test is performed to determine a child’s relationship to the alleged father’s family when the alleged father is unavailable or unwilling and no post-mortem sample is available.
A single grandparentage test is performed to determine a child’s relationship to the alleged father’s family when the alleged father is unavailable or unwilling and no post-mortem sample is available. A single grandparentage test involves testing only one grandparent.
There are two types of relationships that siblings can share: Full Siblingship and Half Siblingship. Full Siblings share two common parents and half-siblings share just one common parent.
An avuncular test is performed to determine if two individuals are related to each other as aunt–nephew (or niece) or as uncle–nephew (or niece).
