The Science of DNA Testing
Paternity testing and other DNA tests rely heavily on DNA's structure and function. Since DNA's structure was discovered in 1953, numerous techniques have been developed to use this knowledge to learn more about how living things function and solve human problems. This section contains information about DNA and applications of DNA technology for those who are interested in learning more.
