DNAforensics

The discovery of DNA has been proved the best invention of the last century due to its functionality for the well-being of human.The effect of the discovery is enormous for medical progress, whether it involves a determination of biological relationship, victim identification, crime investigation, or genetic disorder detection.  Forensics Test and DNA Test DNA test plays an important role in forensics. The discovery of DNA has made it possible to determine the guilt or innocence of a person who has been the subject of an investigation for a crime. It also means that weak evidence can still provide vital clues about the perpetrator of a crime. It is also important that the identification of victims can occur, especially in cases where the victim's condition is unrecognizable to his family or friends. In this sense, DNA has played an important role in the revolution of the whole field of forensic medicine. This impact is felt in the criminal justice system and contribut...

DNA paternity testing is used to determine the biological relationship between alleged father and a child. Each individual’s DNA is unique like fingerprints except for identical twins. Our DNA structure creates at the time of conception and never changed again in a lifetime. We all inherit our DNA from both biological parents.  A child inherits approximately half of the genes from each biological parent. In DNA paternity test, DNA fingerprints compare between the alleged father and a child and if it matches at least 99.9%, the test is proved as positive for the child & alleged father’s biological relationship. If it does not match i.e. test probability occurs 0% then it denies the relationship between the child and a tested man. The maternal and paternal DNA testing is the most accurate and advanced method to determine child and parent relationship. A standard DNA paternity test generates conclusive results to prove the father-child relationship. A trusted and...

Many people need to submit biological relationship proof while migrating to foreign countries by respective Embassy or Immigration Agency. Immigration DNA test is necessary in absence of any strong identity or relationship proof. It is considered as a fraud prevention method by Immigration Department of respective country. Many countries such as US, Africa, Australia have suffered due to fraud cases in the past hence; now they are recommending government approved or AABB Accredited Immigration DNA test Certificate at the time of migration or resettlement.    DNA Forensics Laboratory is approved by NABL and Indian government thus, validated for immigration DNA test certificate. We follow a strict procedure as per government recommendations. The person need to provide a request with case number from respective embassy or immigration agency, copy of national ID (passport, voter’s ID, birth certificate), one passport size picture and filled immigration DNA test a...

DNA testing has become a part of our lives now. Any case can be resolved with the help of a DNA test.  It thus helps the police and the law and brings justice. DNA tests have uncovered the major diseases and improved treatment. DNA testing can reveal many lies. In each living being there is a unique DNA structure. DNA is present in every cell in our body. Even in the teeth, the roots of hair, blood, bones, urine, sperm and saliva. This DNA is unique for each individual and therefore the test is so reliable. It is also called DNA fingerprinting since two people cannot have the same DNA. The most common methods of DNA analysis methods are Restriction Fragment Length (RFLP) polymorphic and Polymer Chain Reaction (PCR) using short tandem repeats (STR). DNA testing in India is gaining recognition with the period. Whether it is the detection of crime, paternity testing or immigration, DNA has become the most reliable and authentic evidence of distinctiveness. DNA ...

As India is a densely populated country, human identification is the last thing that comes to mind when we think about development.  DNA screening center came as a surprise to most Indians. Now human identification is possible just by submitting a sample. Making the most of it, the criminals knew that there was no one to help the injured. There have been many cases of child exchanges and Child swapping everywhere. Children were exchanged in hospitals by staff or other people simply for money. The parents of the newborn came to know by sources but were powerless because there was no evidence. In a recent case, parents asked for a DNA test from the child that they were handed over by the hospital and also from the family that was there in the next room. The other family refused to get the DNA test of their newborn. The mother, the injured, was sure that she had given birth to a little boy who had been exchanged afterwards. The nurse had informed her of the ...

DNA, deoxyribonucleic acid is a complex chemical structure that is unique and different for each organism.  Every cell in our body contains a complete set of DNA. It can be located in our hair, our blood, our skin and our bones. DNA is the basic building block. While a complete set of DNA is called a genome.  Two popular methods for DNA testing are restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using short tandem repeats (STR). All living beings have a different number of chromosomes. We humans have twenty-three pairs, which are inherited from our parents. In each pair of chromosomes, one is from our father and the other from our mother. A DNA test is required to establish the relationship between the DNA profile of two or more individuals.  It allows a biological relationship between these two people. The test may be to prove identity, paternity, grand parenting, immigration purpose or in cases of crime where it is difficult to ...

The paternity test determines whether a particular man is the biological father of a child or not.  When the baby is conceived, it receives half the genes of the father and half of the mother.  This test can also be performed before the birth of the child. This test, when performed before the birth of the child, is called a prenatal paternity test. However, this paternity test can be done after the birth of the child. Confidential paternity testing proved to be a blessing as there was a clear picture of the child's filiations. There are many cases of child exchange in India. Parents are always worried and have this issue in mind. A simple DNA paternity test is the answer to so many questions.  This develops a strong bond between the father and the child. This test is mainly performed with the buccal cells inside the check.  The test is painless and the sample can be collected at home.  The kit may be tested after collection of the sample. Ho...
