Abstract

Objectives: To establish a convenient and rapid method for extracting DNA from bone.

Methods: Fifteen long bone samples were washed and sterilized. The skeletal fragments were obtained by electric drill, and lysed by PrepFiler Express BTA™ lysis buffer. DNA was then manually extracted by silicon microbeads for further analysis.

Results: STR genotyping was successfully obtained in 14 out of the 15 samples, and the detection rate was 93.33%.

Conclusions: The method for DNA extraction from bone established in present study is convenient, quick, effective, and with a strong applicability, which is worth spreading and applying.

Keywords: forensic genetics; DNA; PrepFiler Express BTA™; bone; silica-extraction method.
