Indeed its true Saliva can be used for DNA sample. Especially if you are seeking for a paternity test. Its actually in demand today. The test requires sending in DNA sample from the alleged father and child. Its absolutely painless and the success rate is high compare with a blood sample taken with a medical blood draw. That's really amazing? What do u think?

I really think that this finding is great. It lessens the "ouch" and replacing it with the "pwe" is exciting. The demands may have been high for this sampling to arise. Necessity is the mother of invention :)

Really from "ouch" to "pwe" that is really funny. I rather choose "pwe" then being extracted with blood. There's a chance that the medical technologist can't hit the artey and repeat the procedure thats excruciating.

Hello JackieJenseon08, Yes I did know that know. They take a swab on the side of your cheeks for a DNA sample

Yeah its much easier and no pain at all. No side effects either.

Yes, I knew this. Any of your body fluids will carry your DNA. Much easier to do a saliva swab than to have a blood draw.

Amazing you are really updated. Indeed I prefer saliva then being inserted with a needle. I do have fear in needles. Most people would really agree saliva as par to blood for DNA testing.
