PATER

PATERNITY EVALUATION AND REPORT PROGRAM

This program is a self-contained product for preparation of formal paternity reports with many allied facilities. It works very naturally with DNA·VIEW for DNA types and also deals thoroughly with classical blood groups.

On the basis of the genetic observations listed above (that are consistent with paternity) Julian Eltinge would be 572 times as likely to father Biddney Bicious as would a random man of similar ethnic background.
