Mitochondria are cell organelles responsible for providing energy and are in fact called the cell’s ‘power-house’. When we talk of DNA what we normally refer to is the DNA we find in the cell nucleus and not mitochondrial DNA. Mitochondrial DNA testing finds its use in ancestry testing and genealogy; the two being closely related fields. This kind of DNA is passed through the maternal line to both males and females, but it is only females who pass it to their off spring.

In the DNA testing, we talk about oral or buccal swabs which are applicators used to rapidly collect DNA samples from the inside of the mouth. The procedure is absolutely painless and non invasive and involves rubbing the swab on the inner cheeks of the mouth to collect cells containing the DNA which will then be analysed. There are no risks involved with type of sample collection making it the preferred method in most types of DNA testing. Unlike conventional blood tests, mouth swabs are painless and equally accurate. The mouth swabs are provided in the home-kit which most DNA testing companies provide. Our Sample Collection guide provides more information regarding swabs.

Thu, 21 Mar 2013 11:18:00 GMT http://www.easydna.ca/dnanews.php/dna-maternity-test-canada A DNA maternity test may be required for many different reasons. Cases vary from those searching for birth parents, to those needing proof of a biological relationship for immigration purposes. Working in the exact same way as a DNA paternity test, a maternity test will compare DNA markers of a child and an alleged mother. In adoption cases, a child may grow up wanting to know the identity of their “real” or birth parents. Some adopted children suffer with identity issues and feel that meeting a birth parent will help solve this. Others may just be curious or need information on a family tree. Whatever the circumstances, once they believe they have located a parent, a DNA maternity test is the only certain way knowing they have found their biological mother.
