DNA Testing Glossary
- Paternity Test
- Paternal refers to father, and a paternity test is used to determine the possibility of whether or not a particular man could be the biological father of a certain child. In the past, common methods of paternity testing included blood typing, analyzing certain proteins and looking at human leukocyte antigens (HLAs). Currently, the most certain method of paternity testing is through DNA analysis, which relies on polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
