Abstract

Five DNA extraction systems were assessed for their DNA extraction efficiency on samples of fresh pig bone. Four commercially available silica-based extraction kits (ChargeSwitch® gDNA Plant Kit (Life Technologies), DNA IQ® System Kit (Promega), DNeasy® Blood & Tissue Kit (Qiagen) and PrepFiler® BTA Forensic DNA Extraction Kit (Life Technologies)) and a conventional phenol-chloroform method were tested in this study. Extracted DNA samples were quantitated with GoTaq® qPCR Master Mix (Promega) using an Applied Biosystems® 7500 Real-Time PCR System and the extracts were amplified using an inhouse multiplex system. The phenol-chloroform extraction produced higher yields of DNA than the silica-based extraction methods. Among the silica-based extractions ChargeSwitch® gDNA Plant Kit recovered the highest amounts of DNA. However, all methods produced DNA that could be amplified and none of the extracts contained any detectable inhibition.
