What is DNA Banking and how is it used?
DNA Banking involves the collection and storage of DNA test samples in such a way that they will be available for testing in the future should the need for additional genetic testing arise. A banked DNA sample could also help in the future to resolve missing persons cases, or to help trace a disease gene through a family. DNA Banking for 20 years ranges in price from $250.00 to $300.00 depending on the method of storage.
