AlphaBiolabs Sibling DNA testing has an accuracy rate of 100%. We ask for the inclusion of the mother’s DNA samples in this testing procedure as this usually increases the accuracy rate. We use statistical analysis to evaluate the amount of DNA shared between the individuals tested to deduce a biological relationship.
