Our DNA profiling
service allows individuals to obtain a record of
their genetic profile—a unique combination of 16
markers found in their DNA that serves as a
permanent genetic ID. Individuals choose to obtain
DNA profiles for themselves and their children in
case identification is ever needed. A DNA profile
may be used in the following:
-
Future paternity tests in case of claims on an
individual’s estate
-
To help solve cases in which children run away or
are abducted
In the test, the individual’s DNA is extracted and
purified. The DNA is then combined with 16 different
DNA primers that target specific locations (loci) in
the DNA molecule for amplification. The DNA segments
at these loci are called markers, because they serve
as identifying marks for individuals.
The DNA-primer mix goes through heating and cooling
cycles to amplify the markers in a molecular
xeroxing process known as the Polymerase Chain
Reaction. Once the markers are amplified, they are
detected by sensitive instrumentation, which
determines the marker sizes at each DNA locus
tested.
Each DNA locus is comprised by two alleles, or
copies, of the marker—one inherited from the mother
and one inherited from the father. Thus, the DNA
profile report, also called a DNA typing report,
will typically list two marker sizes for each locus.
The combination of sizes for the 16 markers
represents a DNA profile that is unique for that
individual (see example below for 3 markers).
