  Author(s): Neha Gupta, Rajesh Kumar and Kunwar Veer Vikram Srivastav*
  
  Currently, Short Tandem Repeats (STRs) based forensic DNA typing technology is being internationally used in solving a diverse range of forensic cases, and presently, forensic DNA tests employ Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and Capillary Electrophoresis (CE) based fragment analysis methods to detect length variation in STRs. The quality of STR-based DNA profiles from challenging samples depends on the yield and quality of DNA. The yield of DNA predominantly depends upon the method used for DNA extraction. DNA extraction is the first and perhaps most important step in any Forensic DNA analysis. Any specific method can never be thought of to be convenient for all types of samples. Still, Phenol Chloroform Isoamyl Alcohol (PCIA) method which is called the organic extraction method has been proven to be useful for a wide variety of forensic samples ranging from th.. Read More»
