Can the errors extend to incorrect biological parents?
I've heard stories of affairs being discovered through DNA testing. Curious if the denials might have validity.
- jedberg 8y agoI'm not a biologist so I'm basically making this up, but my guess is no. I think only false negative errors are possible because of the way they do their sampling. If two samples had enough similarity to say someone is a child of someone else, my guess is that's pretty accurate.
- JohnJamesRambo 8y agoIt would take so many errors adding up that I think it would be very impossible. Has anyone ever had a real sibling not come out as around 50% related?
- everdev 8y agoThe situation would be a child finding out they share 1 parent with their sibling instead of 2. Curious if the errors can extend that far.
