  • Q. Are blood samples more accurate than cheek cells?
  • A. No. DNA testing with cheek cells gets the same, accurate results as testing with blood samples, skin tissue, hair samples, etc. The DNA is the same, whether it is extracted from cheek, blood, or other cell.

    Similarly, the results of the test will be the same whether the test is for legal or personal purpose (see also: legal vs. personal tests).
