Procedure The DNA in each person contains genetic information that is a direct product of his or her parents' traits. In order to determine paternity the DNA of the child, mother, and alleged father can be analyzed to determine whether each person is related to the other.
Children receive half of their DNA from each of their parents.
Therefore, in order to determine paternal identification, DNA samples are taken from the mother, child, and one or more alleged fathers. If the male's traits do not match exactly with the child, he is eliminated as the biological father. FAST CBI's experienced staff and extensive equipment allows a rapid turnaround time of a few days, compared to the current market standard of almost two weeks. CBI is also able to accommodate large numbers of samples simultaneously. These advanced methods of testing prevent CBI from developing any backlog of samples.
