Your results will be delivered securely through your online account, mail, or email.
This test provides conclusive evidence of whether the alleged father is the biological father of the child.
Understanding Your DNA Paternity Test Results
Your paternity test results will display two numbers (alleles) for each short tandem repeat (STR) marker tested. These numbers represent the genetic repeats inherited from each parent. A child may have identical or different alleles at a marker, with one allele matching each parent. In a father-child comparison, 50% of the STR markers should match if the alleged father is biological. This analysis provides conclusive evidence of paternity.

Yes, the paternity test kit can be split, allowing sample collection components to be sent to separate addresses. Each component is individually barcoded to ensure proper matching once all samples arrive at the laboratory for testing.
To request a split kit, simply add “Please split kit” in the Order Notes section when placing your online order. Be sure to include the name and address for each recipient. For example:
- Send the Alleged Father’s portion to: [Name & Address]
- Send the Child’s portion to: [Name & Address]
This process ensures a seamless and accurate testing experience, even if participants are in different locations.
No, the mother does not need to be tested if she is already certain of her biological relationship with the child. Paternity can be conclusively determined by testing only the alleged father and child.
DNA paternity test kits can be kept at room temperature both before and after sample collection.
No, the test kits do not expire and can be stored indefinitely before sample collection. However, once samples are collected, they should be sent for testing within three months.
The DNA sample is obtained by gently swabbing the inside of the cheek for 30 seconds. This process is quick, painless, and completely safe.
If both alleged fathers are available for testing, it’s recommended to include both in the DNA paternity test for the most accurate results. If only one alleged father is available, it’s advised to include the mother in the test, if possible. Genovate uses a high-resolution extended DNA marker panel for all paternity tests, ensuring the most conclusive results, even if the alleged fathers are closely related.
