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 …

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 …

Human identification techniques are constantly developing. Before the discovery of DNA,
anthropology accompanied with odontology was the most applicable technique for human …

Advances in molecular biology can be applied to forensic practice with spectacular success.
However, the extraction of DNA from scarce or badly degraded substances remains a …

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 …

DNA recovery, purity and overall extraction efficiency of a protocol employing a novel silica-
based column, Hi-Flow®(Generon Ltd., Maidenhead, UK), were compared with that of a …

In some situations such as mass fatality incidents, homicides, armed conflicts, war crimes,
genocides, crimes against humanity and terrorism, DNA typing from bones may be the only …

In our standard protocol for DNA extraction from skeletal remains of unidentified bodies,
bone lysates resulting from decalcification and Proteinase K treatment were purified with the …

In historical cases, mass disasters, missing person's identification and ancient DNA
investigations, bone and teeth samples are often the best and the only biological material …
