Paternity Test History

The DNA Paternity Test powerfully answers questions about paternity with almost 100% certainty. A DNA test identifies a specific person using their unique genetic fingerprint, or profile. Paternity testing confirms a father-child relationship by comparing these unique profiles.

The IDENTIGENE Genetipedia™ provides a brief history of the paternity test, from traits and inheritance patterns to modern genetic testing, as well as an overview of the paternity testing process used in the IDENTIGENE laboratory today.

To help you understand the DNA paternity testing process, we’ve included this short guide about the history and science behind DNA tests and paternity testing.
