What are the procedures for a DNA test?

The procedures for a DNA test involve collecting a sample from a person, usually through a cheek swab, and sending it to a laboratory for analysis. Once the laboratory has the sample, they will use various methods to extract the DNA from the sample and subject it to a series of tests to compare any existing DNA sequences or genetic markers to the profile of the person being tested. The results of the test, which may take up to a few weeks, will determine if there is a match, and if so, the degree of correlation that exists between the sample DNA and the corresponding DNA profile.
