Acquisition of DNA from skeletal remains can be a delicate process. With the advent of
improved extraction buffers that provide complete demineralization of the osseous materials …

We have developed an efficient protocol for the extraction of DNA from bone samples. The
protocol precludes decalcification and associates an efficient extraction of the DNA with …

The successful extraction of DNA from historical or ancient animal bone is important for the
analysis of discriminating genetic markers. Methods used currently rely on the digestion of …

In historical cases, missing persons' identification, mass disasters, and ancient DNA
investigations, bone and teeth samples are often the only, and almost always the best …

In recent years the recovery and analysis of DNA from skeletal remains has been applied to
several contexts ranging from disaster victim identification to the identification of the victims …

Improvements to analytical methods have made it possible for highly discriminative
genotypic information to be gleaned from smaller and smaller amounts of sample material. is …

The forensic analysis of DNA from bones is a useful tool for identifying human remains.
Bones are durable tissues that can be resistant to decomposition long after death. Bones …

We optimised the automated extraction of DNA from old and contemporary skeletal remains
using the AutoMate Express system and the PrepFiler BTA kit. 24 Contemporary and 25 old …

The generation of a DNA profile from skeletal remains is an important part of the
identification process in both mass disaster and unidentified person cases. Since bones and …

After a disaster, bone and dental remains often represent the best resource for victim
identification as DNA is preserved better in the calcified matrix. Fast disaster victim …
