ABOUT THIS TEST:
This DNA Cousin/Niece Test is an ideal way to determine the likelihood that individuals are first cousins or nieces when the parent(s) in question are not available for testing. The mouth swab can be collected quickly and discreetly in the privacy of your own home and sent to our laboratory for analysis.
BENEFITS:
TECHNICAL INFORMATION:
During a DNA cousin/niece test, a buccal (mouth) swab is taken from each alleged cousin/niece to collect cells containing genetic information in the form of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). Each person’s DNA represents a unique “genetic blueprint,” similar to a fingerprint. In the laboratory, the DNA is extracted from the cells, and specific DNA regions are amplified using a process called PCR (polymerase chain reaction). This amplification process focuses on short tandem repeats (STRs), which are regions of DNA where a short sequence is repeated multiple times. STRs are highly variable throughout the genome, making them a reliable way to confirm or refute biological relationships. By comparing the STR profiles of each alleged cousin, the DNA cousin test can determine the probability of a biological relationship between them.
