GeneSwab™ DNA Specimen Collection Kits
For nearly ten years, GeneTree has made specimen collection as simple as swabbing a cheek and dropping an envelope in the mail. We provide collection kits at no cost, allowing us to concentrate on providing high quality DNA testing.

GeneTree has never sold its kits—we only sell results.

GeneTree’s revolutionary home DNA collection kits were designed to be easy-to-use straight from the package, perfect for people from all walks of life. GeneSwab™ DNA Specimen Collection Kits have been the choice of thousands of individuals like you, for collecting quality DNA specimens from the comfort of their homes.

Our DNA Specimen Collection Kit is the foundation stone behind all our DNA Testing service offerings.

The DNA Collection Process:

1) Determine which GeneSwab color will correspond to each individual involved
2) Remove the first color-coded set of three GeneSwabs from its plastic seal in your GeneSwab™ DNA Specimen Collection Kit
3) Insert the first color-coded GeneSwab into your mouth, carefully applying the soft cotton head to the inside surface of the cheek
4) Place the first color coded GeneSwab in the included collection envelope; repeat the process for the second and third GeneSwabs of the same color
5) (If applicable) Remove additional color-coded GeneSwab sets and follow the above procedure for any additional individual(s) involved in the test.

*Important: Be sure to keep swab sets separate following specimen collection*

6) Add each completed set of GeneSwabs and your completed order processing form to the provided return envelope, seal and drop it in the mail

DNA Paternity Testing Services
GeneTree’s DNA testing services are trusted by legal and medical professionals for answering many types of relatedness questions. The most common of these genetic relationship questions involve paternity:

“Am I the father?”
“Is he the father?”
“How can I prove that I am not the father of this child?”

Satisfied GeneTree customers have requested GeneTree DNA Paternity Tests for a variety of reasons, and for numerous applications.

Literally hundreds of thousands of children are born each year “fatherless,” with the mother left out in the cold. Conversely, many mothers are forced to inform expectant fathers that their newborn child will not truly be theirs.

The sad truth is that many estranged fathers attempt to avoid their duty to pay child support, conveniently denying their paternity. Fortunately, GeneTree DNA Paternity Tests can help put an immediate end to such despicable practices. A GeneTree DNA Paternity Test is also valuable to those in quite the reverse situation.

A satisfied GeneTree DNA Paternity Test customer provides this bittersweet story:

"I'm married with two children, but am separated from my spouse. I've been paying child support for more than five years. Thanks to GeneTree I was able to do a private DNA test on both of my children. I was so devastated when I got the Paternity Analysis Report that I thought I was going to die.

The Paternity Analysis Report read that the probability of paternity was 0% for both of my children. I took this case to court and the Paternity Analysis Report served as evidence. It was proven in court that this DNA test Analysis was true. The court dismissed the child support and freed me of all responsibilities. Thanks again GeneTree" - Pedro Hernandez

It often occurs that a child's paternity is laid at the feet of the wrong man, whose life is being adversely affected by allegations of abandonment; in such a case, the individual can eliminate himself absolutely from the possibility of being the child's father. That's right—a GeneTree DNA Paternity Test can exclude him with 100% certainty.

In the worst cases, an unfortunate woman—or even girl—becomes pregnant as a result of familial abuse and rape. In such traumatic situations, determining whether an accused individual is indeed responsible is an absolute and time-sensitive necessity.

Whether you’re looking to verify one's status as father, or hoping to definitively rule out such a possibility, a GeneTree DNA Paternity Test can provide a fast, accurate, and reliable answer.

DNA Relatedness Testing
In a similar vein, GeneTree’s DNA testing services can help individuals certify relatedness at several other familial levels, from siblingship (brothers/sisters; half-brothers/half-sisters) to grand-parentage; GeneTree's DNA Relatedness Testing can even provide insights into the probability of extended relationships, such as cousinship.

Consider this heartwarming account from a sibling of one of GeneTree's Relatedness DNA test recipients:

"When I was a young girl of 15 my father showed me a photograph of a boy named Steven and his date at a H.S. Homecoming dance. Dad told me that he had been given the picture by the boy's mother and that she'd implied that Steven was his son! My father shrugged this possibility off, but the instant my eyes scanned the photo I knew that this young man was my brother.

I vowed to myself to find Steven somehow. I had a little brother out there and we deserved to know one another. I feared disrupting his life and planned to wait until we were adults to make my search for him serious. This past February I finally found my little brother. He was thrilled to learn he had a big sister and now calls me his angel. The tricky part was getting my father to accept Steven as his son.

I went online to find someway to genetically prove to my father that Steven was his. I came across GeneTree and my search was over. Somehow, I got my father and new brother in the same room to perform the quick, easy and painless procedure. One week after that I could finally prove to everyone else what I already knew with over 99.9% genetic proof. Thank You GeneTree!!!" - Erica Rodgers

GeneTree’s DNA Relatedness Testing services even extend into relationships between known twin siblings. Our Twin Zygosity DNA Test establishes DNA profiles for a twins set; different profiles indicate a fraternal twin designation, while identical profiles permit the calculation of an identical twins probability.

DNA Ancestral Testing
GeneTree’s DNA testing services are also invaluable to those wanting to learn more about their biological heritage, or simply confirm the validity of personal or family genealogical studies. By using DNA from the paternal (mtDNA) and/or maternal (y-chromosome) lines GeneTree can link population traits, migration patterns and genealogical characteristics to individuals, giving remarkable insights into clients’ bloodlines.

GeneTree's Ancestral DNA test participants have sought answers to a variety of ancestry-related questions. For example, many predominantly-African individuals have inquired out of curiosity for the remainder of their ethnic makeup.

Our AncestryByDNA testing services can determine such individuals’ genetic makeup, even providing a percentage profile of Native American, European, East Asian, and African ancestry. GeneTree's Ancestral DNA Tests have proven specifically reliable in the legal verification of Native American Indian ancestry.

This valuable service has also helped countless abandoned and adopted children make definitive determinations about their true ethnic background.

Through mtDNA (Mitochondrial DNA) and Y-Chromosome analysis, individuals can learn—often in acute detail—how their DNA compares to the genetic makeup of ethnic groups throughout the world, from both past and present.

For many, these DNA tests are literal life-changing experiences.

SecureGene DNA Banking
As the name implies, GeneTree’s SecureGene DNA Banking service allows anyone to literally bank their DNA. GeneTree provides complete, stable storage of your unique DNA blueprint; this distinctive information is then available for definitive identification purposes in the future.

Clients can reserve a fully insured space in GeneTree’s DNA vaults for a 20-year period; viability is guaranteed.

GeneCard DNA Identification System
With our GeneCard identification system, GeneTree collects and classifies loved ones’ DNA signatures, storing samples for future verification needs.

By having children’s DNA analyzed and sealed in state-of-the-art laboratory storage vaults, parents are guaranteed an enduring and incontrovertible identification resource. GeneTree’s GeneCard DNA identification system is a particularly ideal means for adoptive parents to achieve peace of mind concerning the safety of their children.

Special DNA Extraction Services
GeneTree’s expert extraction technicians are nothing less than artists at their delicate craft. Viable DNA samples can be culled by our extraction technicians from items as diverse as hair roots, toothbrushes, disposable razors and other hygienic products, as well as a host of dried bodily fluids, including blood, saliva and semen.
