The advent of modern DNA technology has resulted in the increased ability to trace ancestry and family history, and perform human identity testing. DNA testing has helped resolve paternity suits through paternity tests. DNA testing makes all these possible because each person has a unique genetic signature.

DNA testing can also tailor what drugs, chemicals, herbs and food you can ingest that will not have adverse effects on your body. Thus, an idea about your genes can help you stay healthy. In fact, you can even customize skin care products that suit your genetic expression.

There are now many companies that sell DNA test kit products directly to the public while others market their DNA test kits only to physicians and similar healthcare professionals. DNA test kits are commonly used for paternity tests to establish a blood relationship between the father and the child.

A DNA test kit comes with a swab with a felt tip used to collect samples of skin tissue and saliva from the inside of your cheek. You then put the sample into the envelope (included in the DNA test kit) and send it to a hospital or DNA testing company so your specific genetic markers can be analyzed.

The DNA testing laboratory looks at your specific genes and markers. You will get your DNA testing result a few weeks after sending your samples. If you’re concerned about drugs, you can provide a copy to your physician who can help interpret the results and can adjust the dosage or change the type of your medicine.

If you need the result to establish or refute paternity in a suit, you have to inform your attorney whether this can be used as evidence in court. Most courts allow evidence from a DNA test kit provided all the parties consent to DNA testing.
