The test would probably be a minimum of $500. The labs would have to obey chain of custody rules and have accreditations. For an expert to come in and testify in court for DNA evidence would probably run about $1000 or more. I would think that the cost would be the burden of the defense.

They can cost from a couple of hundred to over a thousand, depending on how good the sample is. Richard The party that requests the DNA test pays for it.

It's the other way around, so a person may have to have an attorney charge them $1000 to petition to discover the results of a DNA test made by officials, which will possibly clear the person. An individual DNA test privately arranged to possibly clear someone, is somewhere around $300-up, these days in a lot of places, but the specifics of the situation may require several tests to be made of various people, some of whom may refuse, unless an attorney petitions the court to force compliance, for more legal fees, of course, assuming the court will issue the Warrants. Astoundingly, many jurisdictions still require unknown offerings to admit DNA evidence clearing anyone once a court has acted, to maintain the illusion of infallibility and the right of the ruling class or something. Add to this the "contamination" and general screw-ups problem to anything involving people working with complex procedures on Friday afternoon, or even worse on Monday morning, and anything can happen, or not happen. The percentage of "legal mistakes" depends upon who we ask, but many agree on ~5%. Glad you asked? Regards, Larry.
