During the 7 year period from 2002 to 2009 a high volume, silica-binding DNA extraction
protocol for bone, based on modified QIAGEN's Blood Maxi Kit protocol was highly …

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 …

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 …

The recovery of DNA data from old skeletal remains is often difficult due to degraded and
very low yield of extracted DNA and the presence of PCR inhibitors. Herein, we compared …

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 …

Extracting DNA from degraded human remains poses a challenge for any forensic genetics
laboratory, as it requires efficient high-throughput methods. While little research has …

One of the most demanding DNA extractions is from bones and teeth due to the robustness
of the material and the relatively low DNA content. The greatest challenge is due to the …

An experimental DNA extraction kit (new kit) was recently developed to extract DNA from
degraded skeletal remains without the need for powdering the samples. We compared the …

There is a necessity for deceased identification as a result of many accidents and sometimes
bones are the only accessible source of DNA. So far, a universal method that allows for …

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 …
