What a sibling DNA test at the Omaha office determines
A sibling DNA test compares genetic markers between two people who might be siblings and returns one of three outcomes: full siblings (both parents shared), half siblings (one parent shared), or not biologically related as siblings. At the Omaha office, both siblings can come in for professional collection during the same visit.
When adding a possible parent's sample helps
Including a possible parent's cheek swab strengthens sibling results by letting the lab identify which side of the family the shared DNA came from. This is especially useful when the result comes back as half-sibling and the family wants to know which parent is shared. If a possible parent can come to the office during the same visit, their sample is added to the case.
How accurate is a sibling DNA test?
Testing runs through a US-based AABB-accredited and CAP-certified laboratory partner with dual processing plus Amelogenin for gender identification. The lab tests 46 DNA genetic markers for sibling testing. My Forever DNA guarantees a specific 46 DNA genetic markers on every sibling test.
Full siblings vs. half siblings: what the result means
Full siblings share approximately 50% of their DNA. Half siblings share approximately 25%. The test measures the pattern of shared markers and calculates a likelihood ratio for each possible relationship. The test does not identify which parent is shared in a half-sibling result. That question requires adding a possible parent to the case.
When legal chain-of-custody testing is required
For any legal proceeding involving sibling verification (inheritance, custody, immigration), a legal chain-of-custody sibling test is a separate service.
