What is Postmortem DNA Stability Analysis about?
This document summarizes a study on the postmortem stability of DNA extracted from various human tissues over time. The main findings are: 1) Good DNA stability was found in brain cortex, lymph nodes and psoas muscle over 3 weeks postmortem. Spleen and kidney showed good stability up to 5 days but rapid degradation after longer periods. 2) DNA yields from blood were inconsistent due to non-homogenous samples. Blood clots contained more intact DNA. 3) DNA degradation generally correlated with longer pos
