Identical Twins Have Identical DNA
Other
Just had Jeremy Kyle on and my attention was grabbed as they were doing a DNA test to determine who the father of a girl was. The 2 dads in question were identical twins. The DNA test showed that either twin could be the dad as they share identical DNA and there is no test at the moment to determine who the dad actually is !!! I never knew this. So you can learn something from Jezza 
who’d have thought it 
The myth that identical (monozygotic) twins had IDENTICAL DNA - was busted quite some time ago. This is from eleven years ago https://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/11/health/11real.html
Oh really !! Jezza was going on about scientific research saying there is no test to determine the difference between identical twins. Maybe there’s just not a cheap test he could do ?! I’ll have a read of that article later on as just off out. Thanks for the enlightenment 
nipperjwb I had recalled that from before I retired and I retired nearly ten years ago - there are great similarities in DNA but they're not IDENTICAL, as you say there might not be an easy test available, it is sometimes not easy to determine paternity between close family members (usually brothers) the results usually just give a high probability.
