Because DNA is inherited in a predictable way, it can be used to determine relationships between people. Relationship testing can be used to answer questions about paternity, maternity, and siblingship, as well as identify cousins.
Being able to confirm relationships can be important for legal reasons, such as paternity, but is also important in helping to connect family members who may have been separated during adoptions or regional displacements.
