DNA identification of skeletal remains by using a new extraction kit

Bones and teeth would be the only available samples from highly decomposed bodies and several methods are reported for the DNA extractions. TBONE EX KIT was used as a new extraction kit for identification of 7 degraded skeletal remains. More than 23pgDNA/μl was extracted from all samples. It was eff...

Description
Summary:Bones and teeth would be the only available samples from highly decomposed bodies and several methods are reported for the DNA extractions. TBONE EX KIT was used as a new extraction kit for identification of 7 degraded skeletal remains. More than 23pgDNA/μl was extracted from all samples. It was efficient for autosomal STR and mtDNA analysis and the results confirmed the alleged relationship between missing person and their relatives in 5 cases. This kit could be a simple, useful and reliable tool for forensic caseworks.
