How are DNA tests administered?

Question

Say you want to know if you are the father of 3year old boy. How would the test go, if you went in to a doctor's office?

Answer 1

You can either take your own samples at home, quickly and painlessly and mail the samples to the lab for results. The other option is for us to take your samples for you, witness your ID and have a passport photo of each person for a legally binding DNA test.

Answer 2

normally what they do is swab the inside of your mouth with a long q-tip. that is enough to get a basic DNA test done.. if you want something more complex, with looking at each strand they do a blood work up.. all they do is draw blood like any other docotor would.. but this process can take a while, you wont know inthe doctors office that day.. more like weeks or months down the road, depending on what company does the testing and how backed up they are.. Hope this helped!!!
