What DNA test is best for me?
When it comes to determining biological relationships, the type of DNA testing you need depends on who is available to participate in the DNA testing process, and what question you are trying to answer.
If the question is paternity, it’s always best to test the alleged father with the child for paternity results. Biological Mothers are recommended for all tests! Sometimes it’s not possible to test the alleged father. Maybe he’s deceased, nowhere to be found, or just isn’t willing to participate in a paternity test. If the alleged father is not available for a paternity test, there are other options to determine if he is the biological father of a child in question.
The next best option if a paternity test is not an option, would be to test the child with both of the biological parents of the alleged father (and of course the child’s Mother). This is a Grandparent DNA Test. You want to test both Grandparents if possible. You can also test the child with one Grandparent for a percentage of probability.
If Grandparents are not an option either, you can choose a sibling DNA test. This would be testing the child in question with a known child of the alleged father. There are different types of Sibling DNA Testing. If the children being tested share the same Mother you would select a full vs. half sibling DNA test. If the children being tested have different Mother’s you would choose the half vs. unrelated Sibling DNA test.
You also have the option to choose Avuncular DNA testing. This is an aunt/uncle test where you test the child with a sibling of the alleged father. A full sibling of the alleged father must be tested.
