AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around a perplexing DNA test result where an alleged father is claimed to be the biological parent of two children, despite inconsistencies in the genetic markers. The analysis reveals that the female child has a genetic marker from the alleged father that should not correspond with the male child's expected Y chromosome inheritance. Concerns are raised about the validity of the results, particularly due to the lab's lack of communication and the suspicious condition of the test results envelope, which suggests potential tampering. The individual seeking clarity questions how the results could show a 99.999% probability of paternity despite these anomalies and considers the necessity for retesting at an independent lab to ensure accuracy. The discussion emphasizes the importance of obtaining raw data and seeking a second opinion to resolve the uncertainties surrounding the DNA results.

My apologies to (Ryan_m_b) for my previous post not being detailed enough to support a true discussion. This is the oddest results I have ever seen..and need opinions..

Below is a DNA result that the Alleged Father has been passed off as the father of both children.??.

By reviewing the first locus. The results reflect the female child as receiving 17 from Alleged Father which SHOULD make his 15 the "Y" to be passed to the Male Child. I added so "?" on the really questionable ones. This almost looks like the mother and father are related which is not the case..

Individual came to me to determine if this is a valid result as the lab in question is not answering any of his inquiries. He paid for this test and when asked to get the raw data gets told that it's not required.

There are currently 9 loc's in question here as all parties DNA has been submitted and the Male "Y" Chromosome should be clear to see as the mother states he is the father of both children.

Results came back in an envelope that looks like it had been steamed opened but was also raining that day it came in the mail. Might be a possibility of tampering at the lab as the mother can pull some strings.

The last possibility of the swabs being contaminated/tampered is a variable in the mix of all of this..


I need to know from a Biology perspective how could this be accurately resulting in a 99.999% on both children? Should all Parties get tested again at an alternate non associated Lab?

Thread 'Did they discover another descendant of homo erectus?'
The study provides critical new insights into the African Humid Period, a time between 14,500 and 5,000 years ago when the Sahara desert was a green savanna, rich in water bodies that facilitated human habitation and the spread of pastoralism. Later aridification turned this region into the world's largest desert. Due to the extreme aridity of the region today, DNA preservation is poor, making this pioneering ancient DNA study all the more significant. Genomic analyses reveal that the...
