title: [DNA extraction from old bones].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To explore an efficient method for extracting DNA from old bones.
  
  
  METHODS
  Using an organic combined with and Microcon 100 to extract and purify DNA.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The extracted DNA was successfully genotyped by using florescence labeling STR multiplex amplification.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This method will be useful for forensic scientists in identification of DNA from old bones.
