Abstract
We have developed an efficient protocol for the extraction of DNA from bone samples. The protocol precludes decalcification and associates a n efficient extraction of the DNA with removal of inhibitors by bindin g of DNA to silica particles. Two forensic cases are described in deta il to demonstrate the usefulness of the method. (C) 1997 Elsevier Scie nce B.V.
