What is Sibship DNA Test?
A sibship DNA test is a type of genetic test that determines whether two or more individuals are biological siblings by sharing one or both biological parents. This test is particularly useful in situations where direct parental DNA samples are unavailable, and the individuals involved want to establish a biological relationship. The test can confirm full siblingship (same mom and dad) half-siblingship (only one parent), or exclude the possibility of a sibling relationship altogether. This newsletter will explain what a sibship DNA test is, how it works, and when you might need one.
