DNA testing centers not only provide DNA analysis and testing services such as paternity testing and DNA banking but also offer counseling for researching biological relationships. These centers process samples through accredited laboratories for determining biological relationships and giving highly accurate test results. Some of the popular DNA testing centers are GeneTree, Childsafetyaid, DNA Testing Center of America and Atlanta DNA Center Inc., among others.

Most DNA testing centers in the US provide general as well as specialized DNA testing services like Personal and Legal DNA Relationship Testing, mtDNA Analysis and Y-chromosome Testing, Forensic DNA Testing Services, DNA Identification System, Archiving Genomic Information, etc. Some testing centers also have interactive websites, wherein a consumer can access easy-to-use online order forms from the comfort of his home or office. Some testing centers also provide convenient, customer-friendly at-home collection kits free of charge.

DNA testing centers generally use a combination of different STR markers to definitively measure biological relationships. These not only give reliable results, but can also measure distant biological relationships such as first cousin and grandparentage. Most DNA testing results are released within a week’s time, and the client can access the results immediately. However, when selecting a DNA testing center, it is essential to check a few facts, like whether the service offered by the center is globally recognized, whether the test results are reliable, whether the results can be admissible in a court of law, whether the center employs genetic experts, whether the operational aspects are supervised by an experienced and qualified management team, etc.

Genetic tests are increasing in number for detecting disease or risk of disease, and understanding human genes and their influence on diseases. To understand the connection between genes, ancestry and health, most DNA testing centers are constantly developing new DNA analysis technologies.

  • Hydrogen As a Fuel Source - By: Levi Quinn
    From water to air, there are a number of ways to energize your car. Alternatives to petroleum are a hot topic today. The growing concern for the environment is steadily increasing. It's an important issue that many people want to feel personally connected to. Hydrogen as a fuel source is not an entirely new idea. But science is taking a closer look at the impact that using hydrogen could have on both the environment and the economy. The best solutions are the ones that have more benefits than drawbacks.
  • MRI and Ultrasound: Two Vital Branches of Radiology - By: R Govindan
    Radiology was initially the branch of medical imaging that made use of x-rays on large flat sheets of photographic films for diagnosis. Modern day radiology is no longer confined to the practice of x-rays and now encompasses other methods of diagnostic imaging such as Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ultrasound.
  • Processes Involved In Blavatsky's Writings and its effects - By: Edi Bilimoria
    Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (HPB) demonstrated the Siddhis (psychic-spiritual faculties) of clairvoyance, clairaudience, and the powers of projection, precipitation and being en rapport. These were all used in her writings on Occult science and Meta Physics which may be categorized into seven kinds of processes. We outline them below but it is emphasized that none of the above processes are miracles or supernatural

  • The Z-Boson Mass and its Formula as Multiple Proofs in One Bowl of Yummy Pudding - By: Sean Sheeter
    A demonstration of the mathematical, theoretical and, especially, empirical connotations of the phrase "Pudding Proof" in the context of a highly exacting physical model. In particular, a formula is given deriving the mass of the Z-boson from two heavy quarks and and Higgs field. Remarkably, the precise correlation with the known value of the Z-mass is thus empirically proof positive of these far less directly measurable masses, which is further supported by arithmetic and theoretic construct.
  • The Theory, Significance and Precise Calculation of Gluino Mass - By: Sean Sheeter
    A preview of the most significant predictable particle cascades at Cern's LH-Collider in the coming years. Describes how a precise gluino mass of 6.388355 TeV relates to the super-symmetric Higgs mechanism and decays to squarks and other 'sparticles as a prerequisite to creation of 'dark mass,' as well as the unsolved puzzle of material baryon creation. Which also goes on to shows why giving three dimensionless calculations for the gluino mass are central to the e-course "241-Mumbers."
  • Derivation of the Pure Precise Fine-Structure Number and as a Ratio of Two Inexact Metric Constants - By: Sean Sheeter
    A history of a definitive answer to #1 'millennium question' of Strings 2000 in regard to whether all fundamental parameters can be determined in a dimensionless manner. Focus's on a 'pure' calculation of the fine-structure constant from a unified 'monolithic' system that allows precise equations for the full spectrum of fundamental particle masses from Higgs/SUSY to quarks, neutrinos and dark matter. With an update on controversies of determining the fine-structure from metric measures and a few other related issues.
  • Proof of the Exact Up and Down Quark Masses from the Pion Mass-Differential - By: Sean Sheeter
    A discussion of the equivalence of the mass differential between the charged and neutral pion as a function the mass difference between the down and up quark. Given the unprecedented mass value of the down quark = 7.763258 MeV, the up quark mass is calculable from the even more exacting d-u mass differential = 4.593453 MeV, where the experimental pion mass difference = 4.5936 plusmn.0005 MeV.
