Mahabharata and DNA testing

The following blog is about Mahabharata.
Would the outcome of Mahabharata have turned out differently if there was the technology of DNA testing during those times?
It was a secret that none of the Pandavas were Pandu's sons. But if the Kaurava's could actually prove that the Pandava's were not actually Pandu's son, then would the story of Mahabharata have turned out any different? Would Bheeshma have then supported Duryodhana instead of Yudhishtra for the position of Yuvraj of Hastinapur.

Curious take, dna testing!

Apparently Vysas also had other meanings in mind when he wrote the mahabharata. So the story *could* have remained unchanged.

Here's a sampler:
