We are excited to announce our most powerful DNA testing service yet, analysing up to 153 DNA markers for court-admissible DNA testing.
As the only laboratory in Ireland offering this level of analysis, AlphaBiolabs provides unmatched accuracy and reliability for verifying biological relationships in legal cases, including child welfare and protection matters, custody disputes, inheritance disputes, and more.
Why test more DNA markers?
When it comes to DNA testing, accuracy is crucial. This is especially true when providing evidence for legal cases.
Our DNA testing was already industry-leading, analysing up to 45 DNA markers for an accurate and reliable result. However, we can now extend this analysis to up to 153 DNA markers.
DNA markers (loci) – specific regions of DNA that vary between individuals – are used to compare genetic material and confirm biological relationships.
Analysing more DNA markers further enhances the accuracy of these comparisons, for an even more robust result.
This is particularly beneficial when performing complex relationship DNA tests such as sibling, aunt/uncle (avuncular), grandparent, and extended family tests (including cousins).
This is because the chance of obtaining a conclusive result for complex relationships will always be lower than the more straightforward paternity or maternity tests, as the DNA has not been directly inherited.
By analysing up to 153 DNA markers, AlphaBiolabs offers an unprecedented level of precision for legal DNA tests.
