Effects of DNA Extraction Methods on Recovery, Degradation, and Loss
Many working with genomic DNA can afford to lose large portions of it during its extraction without negatively impacting downstream analysis. However, with work targeting highly degraded DNA sources, retention of every molecule can be key to successful analyses. This webinar addressed the insufficient documentation of absolute efficiencies of extraction methods and the nature of DNA loss associated with the study of low copy number and degraded DNA samples.
This webinar was presented by the NIJ Forensic Technology Center of Excellence on August 20, 2010.
