Twins DNA Test

Determine whether twins are identical or fraternal. A few reasons for completing a home twins DNA test include curiosity about being identical or fraternal, or to discover compatibility for organ or bone marrow donation. Identical twins share the same DNA profile. Fraternal twins are reported the same as full siblings would be.

Sibling DNA Test

A sibling DNA test can provide peace of mind to individuals who are unsure about their biological relationship with their alleged siblings. Sibling DNA testing is a test that can be done to confirm the biological relationship between two people who are alleged to be siblings. The test can verify if they are full siblings, half-siblings, or not siblings at all.
