How long will the samples of saliva which contain the DNA remain valid?
As long as the swabs are allowed to dry, they should be stable for a long period of time. There is no guarantee that they will yield a viable sample, however there is also no technical expiration date on the sample. If the samples are sealed and not allowed to dry, mold will more than likely continue to grow on the swabs and destroy the sample.

What is the Gene Pool? • The Gene Pool is all of the genetic information potentially available to an individual. Each person received half of their genetic information from their mother and half from their father. By testing a mother, child, and alleged father, we can account for the genetic information contributed to the child from the biological mother. The remaining half of the childs genetic information must come from the biological father. By comparing the DNA pattern from the child with the alleged father, we can determine if the alleged father is the biological father of the child. What is the basis for population statistics in Paternity Testing? • Each alleged father
