title: RFLP analysis of forensic DNA samples with single-locus VNTR genetic markers.
abstract: This unit covers the many and varied methods for extracting DNA from such diverse specimens as blood, tissue, stamps and envelopes, and cigarette butts, among others. Modifications to the methods that allow the DNA to be used for either PCR or Southern blotbased analyses are also included.
