Abstract

Successful extraction of DNA from formalin-fixed Paraffin embedded tissues is important to DNA typing for forensic purpose. In the research, 26 samples were analyzed by method of PM and HLA-DQA1 loci typing. 24 of these samples were successful. It showed that this technique and method could be applied to individual identification and paternity test by use of these sorts of samples.
