DNA Testing Services

Genetica DNA Laboratories is a full service DNA testing laboratory providing a wide range of DNA testing services for over two decades worldwide.  Genetica has been accreadited by AABB for DNA parentage testing for almost 20 years.

DNA Parentage Testing provides scientific determination whether a man can be the child's biological father. In  DNA Paternity Testing DNA Paternity Testing, the child's DNA profile is compared with the DNA profile identified in the alleged father for evidence of inheritance. Under certain circumstances, it may be necessary to perform DNA parentage testing on an unborn child (fetus) for the purpose of establishing biological paternity,  Prenatal DNA Paternity Testing. In cases where the alleged father is deceased or missing, DNA Paternity Testing may be performed through  Family Reconstruction DNA Test.

In addition to providing DNA Parentage Testing to determine whether a man can be the child's father and/or whether a woman can be the child's mother, Genetica DNA Laboratories is a full service   DNA Family Relationship Test  laboratory performing a multitude of genetic family relationship determination tests. In cases where the alleged father is deceased or unknown, the paternal grandparents can be tested to determine the likelihood they are the child's true paternal grandparents,  Grandparentage DNA Testing.  In  DNA Sibling Testing,   two children are tested to determine whether they share the same biological parent or parents. The GENETICA DNA Test™ can also determine whether twins are fraternal twins or identical twins,  Zygosity DNA Testing.  In cases where a family member is deceased or missing, DNA reconstruction testing may be performed in order to identify the decedent and/or to determine the person's biological relationship to known family members. Such DNA testing is possible because the genes of the deceased or missing family member are present in his known biological family members (i.e., his parents, his siblings, his known children). See  Family Reconstruction DNA Testing.

Genetica DNA Laboratories, Inc. is a worldwide provider of   AABB Accredited Immigration DNA Testing Services.  We provide DNA Parentage and Family Relationship Testing for the United States Embassies, Department of Homeland Security, USCIS, IOM, PE, Refugee Camps, and Resettlement Programs Worldwide.

New York State regulations mandate that DNA testing services performed for residents in the State of New York be conducted exclusively by DNA testing laboratories accredited for DNA testing by the New York State Department of Health ( NYSDOH ). Genetica DNA Laboratories, Inc. has been accredited for paternity DNA testing by the New York State Department of Health ( NYSDOH ) for over 10 years.

DNA family relationship testing has an important role in the adoption process. The professional staff at Genetica is highly trained and has many years of experience in working with adoption attorneys, adoption organizations, government organizations, and private individuals involved in adoptions. (See  Adoption DNA Testing).

Genetica DNA Laboratories, Inc. provides individuals with their personal  DNA identity profile print  DNA identity profile print (i.e., GenCodex). GenCodex is a permanent means of individual identification, and it is fully compatible with the nationally recognized DNA identity standards created by the FBI’s Combined DNA Index System.

Genetica DNA Laboratories, Inc. provides reliable, fast, and affordable human cell line authentication services, using STR DNA typing to assist the scientific community in verification of cell lines used in research and drug development. Inadvertent cell line contamination has been a major problem for biomedical researchers, while cell line integrity is of utmost importance since the validity of the data obtained often depends on the identity of the cell line. Funding bodies and many journals require proof of cell line authentication. STR profiling (DNA fingerprinting) analysis offers the greatest value for cell line validation. (See  Cell Line Authentication Testing)

Genetica DNA Laboratories, Inc. conducts DNA testing to determine whether two or more male are related through their male lineage with   Y-STR Paternal Lineage DNA Testing.   Y-STR paternal lineage testing can determine a father-son relationship, and it can also help establish biological relationships between males in extended family (like half-brothers, cousins, etc.). We also conduct DNA testing to determine whether two or more individuals are related through their maternal lineage with  Mitochondrial Maternal Lineage DNA Testing.   Mitochondrial DNA passes without change (except for rare mutations) from mother to all children, sons and daughters, but only daughters pass it to the next generation. Mitochondrial DNA test can help in establishing biological relationship between people in the extended family, (like maternal half-siblings, cousins, etc.). Genetica DNA Laboratories, Inc. also conducts  Native American DNA Testing.  Native American DNA Testing is performed to determine if documented tribal members are biologically related to individuals seeking enrollment memberships in various tribes. Genetica DNA Laboratories is fully committed to making DNA technology testing services accessible to the community at large in an affordable, convenient and confidential manner.

Our experienced laboratory professionals have developed automated and streamlined laboratory DNA testing processes that allow us to provide you with the quickest DNA testing turnaround time in the country. After we receive the samples in the laboratory, the paternity results of the GENETICA DNA Test™ are typically available within 48 hours. Additionally,expedited , 24 hour DNA test results are also available.
