How is DNA Profiling Changing Lives For the Good?

DNA Fingerprinting is a method of studying human DNA. It is also called DNA profiling. A DNA test or DNA profiling test has many applications. What started around three decades ago as a one-time DNA analysis for criminal investigation is now available for the common public for many applications.

Steps involved in a DNA Profiling Test

A DNA Profiling Test starts with the collection of DNA samples of the involved parties. For this, buccal swabs are used. A buccal swab or cheek swab is made of sterile cotton that is rubbed against the cheek walls to collect the epithelial cells. These cells will be later isolated/extracted from the cell for analysis.

Then the long-strand DNA is broken down into smaller fragments called Short Tandem Repeats (STRs) using the restriction enzymes. This makes it easier to study. However, the resultant STRs need to be amplified using Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR).

Then capillary electrophoresis separates different sized DNA molecules, and a computer program reads this phenomenon, generating a unique DNA profile.

Although 99.9% DNA of every person is the same, the remaining 0.1% of the difference makes every individual unique. Thanks to extensive study, advanced technology, and commercialization, everyone can get a DNA profiling test today.

Uses of DNA Profiling Test

DNA testing technology can be used in many applications. Some standard DNA profiling tests include-

Peace of Mind DNA Profiling Test for Relationship Identification

• Paternity Test
• Maternity Test
• Paternity Trio Test
• Prenatal Paternity Test (No Sex Determination)
• Siblingship Test
• Grandparentage Test
• Avuncular Test

DNA Profiling Test for Immigration Purposes

Immigration requires establishing the biological relationship between the sponsor and the applicant. In case the attached documents are not sufficient to prove that the involved parties are related, the immigration officer may refuse the visa application.

Getting an Immigration DNA Test beforehand helps avoid refusals. We provide embassy-approved Immigration DNA Tests for countries like the USA, the UK, Australia, Canada, and many more.

DNA Profiling for Organ Transplant Cases

In the case of critical organ failures, a person needs a healthy organ from a living or a diseases donor. The Transplantation of Human Organs Act (THOA) 2014 states that, in the case of the live donor and the recipient being close relatives, a DNA Profiling test is mandatory. We provide NABL accredited DNA profiling reports for an organ transplant case, along with Form-5.

Ancestry Testing

If you are interested in your ancestral past, you can get a DNA Profiling test for ancestral origins as well. The ancestry test can be done for different types of information, for example-

• Paternal Lineage DNA Ancestry Test
• Maternal Lineage DNA Ancestry Test
• DNA Starter Ancestry Test Test
• GPS Origins Ancestry Test

Forensic DNA Profiling Tests

Forensic investigation is greatly backed up by DNA profiling tests. Biological samples collected from the crime sites can serve as viable DNA samples, which can be tested for the precise identification of a possible suspect/convict.

Cell Line Authentication

Cell Line Authentication Tests have wide range of applications, from pharmaceuticals to biotechnology studies and more.
