My sibling and I decided to do a peace of mind DNA paternity test to make sure our dad was in fact our biological father. The results of the paternity test said he IS our Biological Father which we are extremely happy and relieved to know. But our question is about if we ever decide to do an ancestry/genealogy test as a family will the results of this test show us as a father/ children relationship? We ask this because we are so paranoid and worried an ancestry test will give completely different results than the paternity test. We know DNA is the same all over our body but we are afraid that since in paternity tests they only test 20+ markers and ancestry tests test thousands that it might give different results. Can you be so kind to explain to us if there is any remote possibility that we could get a different result, meaning that he might show as not our biological dad in an ancestry test result. We are so afraid and anxious about these DNA questions and topics and we just want to be sure we can trust the paternity test results. They were done with an accredited lab and we ourselves took our father's sample (toothbrush) to the facility and we were swabbed there. Everything was handled properly and we witnessed the whole process so there was no tampering or any funny business, I mention this so you have a little background info. We were extremely careful about it and even though it can't be deemed legal because we used a non traditional sample for our father the process was the same as if it would've been a chain of command. Thank you for your time.
Sorry for the delay in reply, With the current technologies, DNA paternity testing has an accuracy of 99.99% or more. So I would take that as reassurance. If you are specifically doing Y-chromosome analysis, it specifically shows paternal ancestry. The normal ancestry tests would use Autosomes (normal - not sex chromosomes). Hence it would be comparing markers from both paternal and maternal origin. Furthermore if you are not comparing your possible ancestry with that of your fathers, it wouldn't be of much value for showing paternity. Also remember you only inherit about 50% of your dad's DNA meaning half of his markers might not be in your DNA. I hope that this explanation is of some value to you.
I needed this kind of explanation... thanks!!❤️
I'm glad that you found it useful. Thanks for the feedback
You too a Simpson lover! Love you too teacher. You nailed the way of easy explanation!. 🌻
Thank you for taking the time to comment. It really made my day.
THANK SO MUCH I REALLY APPRECIATE IT IT REALLY HELPED ME
Glad it helped!

Thank you for the wonderful explanation
I'm very glad that you found it useful. Please share with others who can benefit.
"used to identify people" But what if i identfiy as an eagle?
That's the nice thing about science, it differentiates reality from fantasy.
THANK YOUU YOU SAVED. E
You're welcome!
Thankyou..
My pleasure, good luck with your exams
