DNA testing is the analysis of genetic material to identify individuals or determine biological relationships.
It's used in paternity cases, criminal investigations, ancestry research, and medical diagnostics.

Results can link suspects to crime scenes, identify remains, or reveal genetic predispositions to disease.
