Abstract:
We developed a reliable and efficient, fully automated method for high-throughput isolation of genomic DNA from buccal swabs, based on silica-membrane technology. It was demonstrated that DNA purified using this method performed successfully in downstream applications relevant to forensic science and molecular diagnostics.
