DNA Genealogy - The Many Ways That DNA Testing Can Help Us Today

[Kirk Monroe]

DNA genealogy has become a very hot field because of the many uses
that DNA tests provide for us. We have a very natural curiosity with
the past and who are relatives are and what they have accomplished in
their lifetime, whether it is a person that you think is related to
you or some king or queen hundred some years ago, we all want to know
who we are related to because all of these people are linked to us
through our DNA. I have always wondered what country my family name
originated from and by signing up at a genealogy website and using
their paid services I found out that some of my relatives came from a
relatively obscure little country in the Middle East. Now this may
have been enough to satisfy me but many people would like to take this
one step further by doing actual DNA tests to see who exactly their
relatives were. Thanks to the mapping of the human genome DNA tests
are becoming more sophisticated every year.
DNA genealogy as many other practical uses and our society as well
such as doing paternity tests. Paternity DNA testing has become a very
big business these days because of the fact that many men are trying
to skip out on paying child support leaving the mother by her self to
try to take care of her child physically and financially. Paternity
tests have become so accurate that they now stand up in a court of law
and can be used to enforce child payment on the father. If you are
looking to get a paternity test taken to prove whether you are the
child's father or not or whether you are the mother who is trying to
prove this you should always make sure that you find the lab that can
guarantee in writing that they are DNA tests have a 99.9999% accuracy
ratio. This will greatly decrease the chances to almost nil to have a
false inclusion. Remember this, if the lab can only guarantee a 99.99%
inclusion ratio that means that the chances of getting a false test
results increase by 100 fold so don't be fooled by the tiny percentage
points here. Even if the DNA test cost a few hundred dollars more it
is worth it to have that type of piece of mind and finality when it
comes to your paternity test results.
DNA testing is not only great for helping us to find out who our
ancestors are but it is also helpful in such fields as paleontology.
Even though this type of DNA testing is in its infancy stage,
scientists hope that one day we will be able to fully map out the
genome sequences of even dinosaurs and maybe one day hundreds of years
in the future we may be able to bring a prehistoric animal back to
life. DNA testing has so many practical uses for us today but the most
incredible discoveries have only just begun and will increase
geometrically and time as our knowledge increases in this field.
