15. The buccal swab paternity test is just as accurate as a blood paternity test. All nucleated cells in the human body have the same DNA. The buccal swab collects epithelial cells off the cheeks inside mouth (buccal cavity). The buccal swab paternity test can be more convenient and more comfortable for the child.
