How Can A DNA Test Help Me?
The type of DNA tests we focus on provides our customers emotional comfort, and if required, the chain of custody and report desired for lawful purposes. Journey Genetic Testing does not provide medical predisposition testing or nationality testing. We often are asked why we only do just paternity and family relation tests, and the reasonis that with both genealogy tests and genetic testing to determine health issues, the results can never be said to be 100% accurate. We only want to produce test results that we can be certain are correct.
Indeed, we often provide our testing after somebody is given a ancestry result citing they they have found a suggested “surprise family member”. You may be interested to learn that almost 50% of the time when people want to verify genealogy findings, and test with a person they are told is a relative, in person-to-person AABB accredited testing, find they cannot be related.
When questions are suggested about family relationships, the questions do not tend to go away by themselves. In fact, they don’t get resolved even years later until the truth is revealed. Understanding this, and helping you through these times, is one reason why we do what we do.
The DNA testing we do for our clients in Sedalia, MO determines the statistical feasibility that two or more individuals are or are not biologically related. A Journey DNA test is the best way of confirming paternity either directly with the suspected father, or indirectly through his possible children, or other family members. All testing is done in AABB accredited laboratories.
You should also be aware that different states and regions may restrict the type of genetic testing you can order in direct to consumer testing. We hold the belief that each person should be entitled to make the choice that is right for them in regards to this process. Equally we want to respect the laws that determine what tests can be done.

Collecting A DNA Sample
The most popular way to obtain the necessary DNA sample is to use a mouth swab, often referred to as a “buccal” swab, which is very similar to a “Q-tip” cotton swab. The swabs are rubbed on the inside cheeks of the mouth for each sibling (and the mother, if testing) for about 15 – 30 second per side. It is painless and quick.

When it is not possible to obtain a buccal sample voluntarily, or if you wish to have the testing to be done in a more discreet manner, we are often able to test items other than a mouth swab. These are known as non-standard, or alternative, DNA samples. We can test these types of DNA samples at a reasonable additional cost. To learn more about alternative DNA samples, please CLICK HERE.
