Sibling DNA Testing in Newcastle (Peace of mind)

AlphaBiolabs Sibling DNA testing uses DNA technology to establish whether or not a brother and a sister have the same father or the same father and mother.

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.

The city of Newcastle upon Tyne is based in Tyne and Wear on the northern bank of the River Tyne. It is the largest city in the North East of England and is located just 103 miles (166 km) south of Edinburgh. The nickname and dialect for people from Newcastle upon Tyne and the surrounding area is Geordie. It houses two universities: Newcastle University (a member of the Russell Group) and Northumbria University. Major landmarks in the area include the Tyne Bridge, The Castle, Gateshead Millennium Bridge, Beamish Museum and Centre for Life. The city is also well known for its sporting activities. Since 1981, it has hosted the Great North Run, a half marathon which attracts over 57,000 runners each year. Based as St James’ Park, Newcastle United Football Club – known as the Magpies – currently plays in the Premier League. The city was developed around a small Roman settlement on Hadrian’s Wall known as Pons Aelius. Its eventual name is based on the castle built in 1080 by William the Conqueror’s eldest son: Robert Curthose. The city grew thanks to the growing wool trade in the 14th century, and later became a major coal mining area. As the port developed in the 16th century, shipyards along the River Tyne were amongst the world’s largest shipbuilding and ship-repairing centres. The status of city was granted to Newcastle upon Tyne on 3 June 1882. In the 19th century, shipbuilding continued to thrive and together with heavy engineering contributed to the city’s prosperity. The Industrial Revolution resulted in the urbanisation of the city. The population today is around 300,000.
