• What is DNA?

DNA can be called the Book of Life. It lies at the heart of each cell of our bodies. The nucleus of each cell, which contains DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), stores all the information needed to direct the activities of the cell. DNA is organised in chromosomes, of which human beings have 46 in total (23 chromosomes from both parents)

• What is DNA testing?

In DNA testing these genes and their nucleotide sequence are examined so that certain genetic markers in or near the genes will be analysed. There are various laboratory techniques that can be used to identify the differences in DNA sequence. Based on knowledge gained through scientific research, the results of the analysis are interpreted and sent to you
