Press Release Summary: DNA paternity testing firm easyDNA is experiencing an
increase in demand for its DNA Forensic testing services particularly in situations
involving deceased relatives.

Press Release Body: NEW YORK, UNITED STATES ( ExpressPressRelease ) 31 August 2007 -
easyDNA, a leading DNA paternity testing firm,
announced it had experienced an increase in demand for its forensic DNA testing
services for DNA paternity and relationship testing purposes.

The company has seen an increase in the number of direct requests over the past six
months for cases involving the analysis for DNA of non-standard samples. It has also
been commissioned on a number of complex cases, which it has managed to complete
successfully.

A spokesperson for the company said, \"Typical requests include individuals who want
to confirm their paternity to a dead relative and require the DNA profile of the
deceased to perform a DNA Paternity test. This usually involves issues of
inheritance. In such cases we advise the client what type of sample they can
provide, how to take the sample and how to send it for analysis. Typically, if the
death is recent, we request hair or fingernail samples. Alternatively, if the body
is no longer accessible, we request personal items such as garments, stamps,
envelopes and other personal items that may contain traces of DNA. However, in cases
of exhumation the situation is more complex and we will require for analysis bone or
teeth samples taken by a qualified professional. Whilst we always clearly state that
there is not always a 100% chance of success with such samples, we are pleased to
report that we have obtained some very good results with some very difficult
samples. Therefore we look forward to extending our testing portfolio and providing
an even better service to our clients.\"

Clients who wish to discuss their case are normally advised to contact the company
directly for more information. In addition, a full list of non-standard samples and
estimated extraction success rates can be obtained from the company\'s website
