✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Organic and Chelex extraction methods are compared to five commercially available DNA extraction kits. For forensic purposes, comparison of different extraction strategies is based on the ability of the methods to economically recover high yields of amplifiable DNA from small blood samples in a quick, simple and safe manner. The findings of this study indicate that resin‐based methods, such as Chelex, are best able to meet these criteria.

Typing of DNA from ancient or otherwise highly degraded material, e.g. formalin fixed tissues, can be difficult, time consuming and costly. Very often, genetic typing is not possible at all. We present an inexpensive and easy to use Duplex-PCR that amplifies a 164 bp fragment specific for nuclear DN

The demand for high-throughput DNA profiling has increased with the introduction of national DNA databases and has led to the development of automated methods of short tandem repeat (STR) profile production; however, a potential bottleneck still exists at the gel electrophoresis stage. Capillary ele
