Kinship analyses
The most common biological parentage testing are paternity tests, which can be carried out through the analysis of the alleged father-mother-child, or only the alleged father-child, and even in the absence of the father, as occurs in post-mortem paternity tests. These tests are usually carried out both in the case of alleged children and if they have reached legal age of majority.
BIOMICs carries out these analyses at the request of the administration of justice or private individual requests.

Lactose intolerance​
BIOMICs Research Group has designed a "genetic lactose intolerance test" kit. The kit, which is low-cost, non-invasive and easy to use, allows the analysis of the main genetic variants that confer genetic tolerance to lactose. The results facilitate the choice of a personalised consumption of dairy products.
