Oxford Test for Paternity

DNA Bioscience offers paternity testing and various types of DNA relationship testing to the residents of Oxford and the surrounding area. As we have dealt with a number of customers from Oxford we wanted to also take the opportunity of providing information about this city.

Situated on the River Thames, Oxford is best known for the University of Oxford. First occupied in Saxon times as a fording point, it became a burg, built to defend the northern frontier of Wessex from Danish attack; it was first mentioned in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle of AD 912. Little remains of the town's Norman period of occupation. Oxford is generally known as the “City of Spires” because of its skyline of Gothic towers and steeples. Most of these 15th–17th-century buildings belong to the university. The city was the Royalist headquarters in the English Civil Wars. Its modern economy is varied and includes, in addition to educational services, printing and publishing industries and automobile manufacturing.
