Abstract
We have developed an efficient protocol for the extraction of DNA from bone samples. The protocol precludes decalcification and associates an efficient extraction of the DNA with removal of inhibitors by binding of DNA to silica particles. Two forensic cases are described in detail to demonstrate the usefulness of the method.
