A New Method for DNA Extraction from Bone Samples
Forensic laboratories have long struggled to find the best practice for obtaining sufficient DNA from bone specimens. Any new protocol must overcome the extraction efficiency hurdle while also limiting the presence of PCR inhibitors, thus permitting the generation of utilizable STR profiles from this challenging medium. This blog post elaborates on a presentation by InnoGenomics at the 2022 American Academy of Forensic Science meeting, where we offered just such a solution for DNA extraction from bone.
