In an age of growing technology and advancement in scientific investigation, the field of genetics testing is now becoming more available to the public. Easy and affordable paternity and sibling testing is now within reach for anybody who needs it, whether individually, or for courts, immigration or solicitors.

About Market Factors

Over the last few years it has become clear that the need for DNA testing has grown across the UK, especially in the London. There are many reasons for this growth. Between 1991 and 2001, births outside marriage grew by 11.25%. This supports the growth of maternity testing as a birth outside marriage could mean that the father of the child is unknown. There is also evidence, gained from the report in the Scottish Daily Records in October 2002 that more young men would have a paternity test if a woman claimed they had got her pregnant.

Another factor that is effecting the growth of paternity testing is the increase in single and lone mother families. Single parent families are no longer seen as abnormal in our society and with the traditional 'nuclear family' becoming less heard of many children are growing up without knowing their biological fathers. In the early 1970's, fewer that 1 in 12 families with children was a lone mother. By 2000 this number had almost trebled to 1 in 4.

All of these factors have contributed to make genetics testing a hotspot in the area. The founder of DNA Bioscience, Avi Lasarow, reaffirms how accessible DNA testing has become; "DNA Bioscience is able to perform highly specialized testing at very affordable fees because of a highly efficient laboratory. You can rely on your results from DNA Bioscience."

He goes on to add; "We feel that London is an area that would benefit from having a genetics testing service available, especially to the general public who may not have considered such action in the past. With our research we wish to give people the chance to make important decisions in their lives."
