Hello. Yes, it is possible to use genetic testing to determine if you and your siblings have the same father. sources: "Brother to brother tests" from DNAnow.com http://www.dnanow.com/dnanow/botframe_files/brother.htm "Male Siblings: If the two siblings are male and you are trying to determine if they share the same biological father than Y-chromosome testing may be an alternative approach. The Y-chromosome is the only genetic information that will be identical in both of the male siblings as long as they share the same father. If the male siblings have different biological fathers they will have two different Y-chromosomes." source: Genetic Identity - sibling testing http://genetic-identity.com/Sibling/sibling.html "Sibling DNA Testing" source: paternity-testing-service.com http://www.paternity-testing-service.com/Full_or_Half-siblingship%20Testing.html DNA Sibling Test, from Americangenetic.com http://www.americangenetic.com/siblinginfo1.htm Note that the various DNA testing businesses that I've mentioned are only listed for informational purposes. I'm not endorsing them or recommending them in any way. You should thoroughly investigate any company before doing business with them. The Better Business Bureau is a good place to start. http://www.bbb.org/ search strategy: dna sibling testing I hope this helps. Good luck! |
