Is a DNA test that you do at home any different to one performed by a doctor? Is there any difference in accuracy? Will the results hold up in legal proceedings?
There was a time when getting a DNA test was expensive, complicated, and usually reserved for scientific research or police investigations. But over the years DNA testing technology has rapidly improved, making tests quicker, more affordable, and more accessible to average members of the public.
If you have doubts over who’s the real father of a child, you can now buy a home paternity test kit from a pharmacy, grocery store or online – and administer the test yourself in the comfort and privacy of your own home. They’re also a lot cheaper than many people believe – the most basic type of paternity test start from around £100 or $120. You simply provide a DNA sample taken from the inside of your cheek, sign all the paperwork and mail the kit back to the testing laboratory. A few days later, you receive your results. Sounds simple, right?
