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 …

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

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 …

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 …

Bone is the most challenging tissue for DNA extraction and purification. Expensive
commercial kits and specific equipments are often used in forensic and anthropology …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Interest in the analysis of DNA from ancient bone material (3) has increased greatly since it
was first demonstrated with the amplification of mitochondrial DNA sequences from 5500 …
