Legal DNA Tests

When DNA test results are required for court proceedings, child custody matters, estate disputes, or other legal purposes, a standard home DNA test may not be suitable. Forensics Canada Inc. provides court-admissible legal DNA testing with verified identification, documented chain-of-custody procedures, and analysis through an SCC-accredited laboratory.

Science Behind DNA Tests

The science behind DNA testing for paternity and other biological relationships relies on the analysis of genetic markers inherited from both parents. Every individual inherits half of their DNA from their biological mother and half from their biological father. By comparing specific regions of the DNA, known as genetic loci, laboratories can determine whether individuals share the expected pattern of inheritance. In paternity testing, for example, the child’s genetic profile is compared to that of the alleged father to confirm whether he has contributed the required half of the child’s DNA. Similar methods are used to establish maternity, sibling relationships, and other familial connections. Accredited laboratories use highly advanced techniques such as Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and Short Tandem Repeat (STR) analysis to ensure accurate, reliable, and legally defensible results.
